Had 4 bikes stolen so far. Commuter bike that I use as a means of transport AND fun must look like crap. Don't care if it makes me look homeless.

If I were a thief:
choice a) Ugly bike, good chain/lock
choice b) Nice bike, good chain/lock
choice c) Nice bike, bad chain/lock

A would be my last choice, when deseparate and there's no b, or c around.
