The total bike count is 50. 48 of the 50 have full or partial serial numbers on them. About 10 of the bikes are in perfect order. Quite a few are pretty beat up so they may have been stolen some time ago or may have been abused by their owner. Not sure. If someone has info on their own stolen bike, but can't make the showing, post any info on your stolen bike here(make,model/serial/color). I'll check the list and get back to you. If your brand isn't listed, the PPD doesn't have it.

The recovered brands are:

AVICO-1
BARACUDA-1
COLUMBIA-1
DB-1
FAST FURIOUS-1
FUJI-1
GIANT-1
GITAIN-1
HUFFY-7
KENT-2
LANDRIDER-1
MAGNA-4
MAMBA-1
MONGOOSE-3
MURRAY-1
NEXT-7
PACIFIC-3
PEUGEOT-1
POLARIS-1

I'm looking for a beat-up black Peugeot, dunno the serial number but it has some unique features:
1) Front and rear metal fenders
2) Metal rack over rear wheel
2) it is a "mixte" -- it looks somewhat like a girl's bike but the top tube isn't angled quite as much, and it is made of two separate tubes that fork out from the front, frame looks like this:

Except mine is black, has different seat, handlebars, drivetrain, and no headlight.

Thanks!

The Peugeot in question is beat as well but missing the type frame and features you mention. Sorry
