As for U-locks and other discussion -- well, yeah, a foolish type like me who hasn't yet lost a bike to theft is probably gonna go with just locks and luck for now. If I loose a bike, I'm sure I'll not have any problems with sloshing paint around on the next one. For now, though, I just don't have the heart to do that to a shiny, black frame! (Famous last words?)
Actually a GREAT QUESTION regarding bike camouflage. Got me to thinkin. Came up w/ a Decal Kit which provides the illusion of Bike Scratches/Structural Cracks. Just got the samples in from the printer. Tested them on some bikes, THEY ABSOLUTELY KICK ASS! Almost scary, they are so good. Very thin polyethylene, it is weather proof, wash proof, yet come off years later without damaging the finish. They will go on sale next week at BikeRegistry. But for Jonmustang, please send me a PM with your mailing address and I will send you a sample kit for your bike. Many thanks again for askin the question! Will follow-up w/ some photos and a totally unscripted, unrehearsed utube video on this outrageously good illusion....
