can you recommend a lock?

Try this out for size:

Look for a U lock; brands that you can't go wrong with for a U lock from kryptonite's evolution series and on guard's pitbull series. That, and an accessory cable for your wheels to use in conjunction with the u lock.

****...it's even called a "cutter".

lawl. i'm pretty sure someone that reviewed that said it failed the bic pen cap test.

this evolution series?:

You realize they redesigned the keys for these like 7 years ago right? No modern kryptonite lock can be picked with a bic pen.

the point is that you cant just say "evolution series". why they didnt change the name i dont know. if i recall pre 2002 and post 2005 locks are fine.

I guess I just assumed he wouldn't be buying his u lock at a thrift store

OnGuard Bulldog Mini FTW.

at $40+ some people may buy second hand to save money.

For the record, I bought my OnGuard Bulldog Mini for $20 at Target.

"Evolution series 4"; I recommend the series 4 LS sub-series for portability.
I was just keeping it short; didn't know you guys were that literal considering those have long disappeared from shelves everywhere.

i assumed you didnt mean the troubled locks but wanted to clarify for others that may be trying to a few dollars. i probably should have been more constructive with my response as apposed to just being "smart".

Key should look like the one on the right. Avoid ones like the one on the left.

^that would have been a more appropriate response^

Now, now, you're expecting too much from me.

Kudos to lester for going beyond the call of duty.

haha, no i meant from me.

i should have told posters what the difference between the locks were, not posted a video in an attempt to poke fun. as stated here:

Oh

/something more of reverence here:

I've had a chrome bag for going on 7 years now. I feel like a dip**** every time I wear it now, because every ****ing kid with gauged ears at my uni wears one.

I mostly just stick with a leather backpack now. DAMNKIDSSTOLEMYSCENE

That image sums things up nicely. Well done.

my gf has my one less cars shirt, but it only cost me 2 bucks from the thrift store. It was to tight. In a thrift store in alabama there were 4 racks of threadless shirts it was amusing

I much prefer the custom bag and my oakleys,

but I do see guys dressed like the cartoon all the time.

Why'd you get a chrome in the first place?

I like certain New Balance shoes because some are made in the U.S. and UK where people get paid decent salaries to make them. They're high quality and comfortable, which can't be said about many Nikes made in sweatshop factories in East Asia. I'm not gonna stop wearing New Balances because a bunch of d-bag kids start wearing them.

I love the **** out of my chrome. if it was bigger I'd never use my backpack

I can say with confidence that Chrome has mastered the art of creating messenger bags. Everything is perfect, except for their new wave of clientele.
