Nice bike! If I ever find an old Trek Antelope in my size and in good condition I plan to set it up about like that. That's about how I lock my bike too, except I use a cable for the front wheel instead of a U-lock, and a thinner cable for the saddle. I don't have to lock my bike outside during the work day though.

Was in great shape, but the back half had been painted with a rattle can. I had it powder coated and used parts for two High Sierra builds for my boys). I'm posting the pics mostly to illustrate the locking scheme I've arrived at. Sorry about the non drive side pics, especially since they don't show off my favorite derailleurs (Suntour Cyclone MkII, also on my 1985 Miyata Six Ten).
