I commute past that law school every day. It's a pretty good neighborhood,I'd be surprised if there were serious vandal issues. Personally,I'd use the NY3k for the frame and rear wheel,run a cable through the front,and swap the quick release on the seatpost for an allen bolt one. You don't need to make your bike completely theft proof,just lock it better than the others. You wouldn't believe how many nice bikes I've seen on campuses around here "secured" with a cable the size of the one that goes into the back of my TV. I could chew through most of them.

Just do me a favor:don't be a Starbucks lemming! Almost every morning I see peds dashing across the middle of the road for their coffee fix,when the crosswalk is only a few yards away.
