It's normal sized locked (not a mini) any ideas?

Funny, I've got a mini-U and I was just thinking about ways to carry it on the frame. Fortunately, since it's small, i'm able to just lock the shackle under the downtube and the locking bar over the toptube, but this doesn't work with a normal sized U-lock. However, I did realize while trying all of these things: a small hook could be made to attach to the seat stays: one could put the crossbar of the lock or the shackle of the lock onto the hook, then lock the lock down and across the seatstay/seattube angle. This would have the added benefit of adding R/L-balanced weight. Someone out there make this, I'll buy it.
