Looks like a single speed. Chances are the components were stolen to begin with.

A few weeks ago I bought a 70 something Raleigh Record 10 speed on ebay for ten bucks and my brother asked me "why would you buy that piece of junk?" I just sent him that pic and now he gets it. I live and work in a giant cesspool where anything goes. I feel like putting a sheet over it like they would a homicide victim...for a last shred of dignity. For some reason the chain just laying there with nothing to do got to me, like a jumper sprawled out on the sidewalk for the whole city to see his insides. I am gonna go get a sheet now

I believe in "all hazard" bike insurance to "protect" my bike (and my wallet).

how much do you pay for the insurance? just curious as never really looked at insurance and was wondering. oh and does the price include replacement policy in it? if i do get insurance(along with my locks) plan on getting that included. ack sorry 1 more and does using better locks possibly get you a discount on the additional charge? hmm probably that depends on the insurance people and coverage id guess.

Man, the headset?, Really?
I wonder how long it took 'em to strip the parts.
Life in the big city, I guess.

I don't see the logic in it. It is hard to make out what kind of lock is used, but for such a dedicated thief wouldn't it be much easier (and faster) to cut the lock and steal the whole bike intact?
For this reason, to me it doesn't look like a single-event theft. It looks more like an abandoned bike that was left in the street for a long time, losing part after part until it eventually got to the stage we see in the picture.
