Hello there BF I am in the market for a brand new shiny steed and Im wondering if i should even go new. I understand there is a risk being taken when you buy a new bike as it grabs attention BUT i really want a new bike and it has everything i want in a commuter. My question is the bike I am looking at is a good 1,ooo why such an expensive year round commuter because for my taste and needs it is perfect . But my question is should i even bother or is it a recipe for disaster ? just want opinions, personal choices, get a little discussion going .

My plan to keep it from getting stolen is 2 u locks one to lock the front wheel to the frame and to a fixed poll or rack my choice an ABUS u lock forgot the model but is the one with the highest rating and a Kryptonite mini new york lock and throwing in some anti theft skewers what you guys think ??
