If you are in a high-crime/theft area, build up an ugly/fast bike that will keep the thief's eyes wandering. Saw my friend's $100 bike with a "nice" gold rattle can job on the wheels get jacked (I caught the guy and detained him until the police arrived) right next to my nice, but sticker covered and slightly dirty bike with an ugly rack. The thief also left behind a $2500 mtb that he had stolen from a local racer... didn't have a clue what he was riding, probably thought it was just a 100 dollar wal-mart mountain bike. No use dumping money into a flashy bike that will just end up in the hands of a crackhead... Or, just get the SE and teach your son to lock up properly.
