My commuter was about 1k before I started changing things, now is quite a bit more. I have a few different locks, and depending where I take it I adjust the level of security (Krpto Mini-Evo and New York u-locks, 10mm hardened boron chain and Abloy 342 padlock). Use just one or mix and match as needed. I also peeled all of the brand logos from the frame (which looks better anyways). Life is too short not to have a decent bike, IMO.
