I think the original Bordo had less strong rivets, but reviews I'd seen of the newer ones seem equal or better than U locks. None are perfect but the Bordo has the advantage of taking longer for typical tools that a thief is likely to have like angle grinders or crowbars and combined with the ring lock on the rear wheel make my bike less inviting. Kind of like the old story of not needing to outrun a bear, but only run faster than the other guy, I'd mostly just like to make mine less inviting than other options. That's about all anyone can do.
