If theres a good number of bikes without seat posts, handlebars, forks, etc go for the full pinhead/pitlock I guess. Oh and while the theft protection on kryptonite seems nice if the thief isnt polite enough to leave the lock behind youre sol on getting the money from them also read this: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...or-keep-secret

edit: Also if going 2 u lock or even one, I suggest removing front wheel and locking it up in the rear if youre not going to get a standard/long version of the lock. A real mini might not be long enough inside the shackle to fit inside the rim and around the frame so might want to measure that first.
Are you suggesting 2 U-Locks? Your paragraph got a bit confusing. I'm not set on Kryptonites for the second, although I already have an Evolution.

Despite the way to crack Pitlocks and Pinheads, it seems to me that they'll be more confusing than a simple cable. Is this the general opinion?
