Thanks for the link - I think the Abus 6500 may be my next bike lock!

I currently lock my commuter with a U-lock through the rear wheel and triangle, and as I also must give +1 to tractorlegs and cazzzzidy for their cheap bikes option. Even so, if I could afford to easily replace my bike, I would probably buy something nicer. Fortunately I usually only commute to/from work, which is on a gated, guarded facility and I don't even lock up there.
