I'm resurrecting this thread cause I'm in the same situation. NY or evo 4 std? Or possibly even opt for abus ultimate? (I'm looking at around same price range.) currently, I have kryptonite evo mini and I like it, although I do need something a bit larger and wider to Sheldon brown my bike at my local college campus, and use the mini as a secondary lock. I will be leaving the bike locked for about 3 hours give or take, and I'd rather have piece of mind instead of wondering if my wheels will still be there when I get back or worse. My campus just got new bike racks and they're sweet and solid! Although they are large. Which is why I'm interested in Std size lock. Also my bike is a pretty old commuter, and I would not lose much price wise. On the other hand it is a cannondale from the 80's downtube shifters with shimano 60 group set. It was my first real bike and id rather just get a very decent lock to re assure myself due to its sentimental value it comes with.

Anyways now that you know my situation, would an evo series 4 lock suffice or is the NY worth the extra bucks to fork out and get? Weight concerns....think I'll be leaving it at the rack so not too worried. There's also the abus ultimate 420 to throw out there in interest....lbs says its a beast... Sorry for hi jacking, thanks
