SMF - Just Installed!
There *may* be other options such as a Boardman bike. Or another non-fancy brand that still makes a good ride but won't be such a thief magnet or break the bank. (not everybody's way I know...)Uglifying with tape is another trick often used along with making it look dirty on purpose. We put pink rattlecan on the bike, and spoke beads to uglify our steeds in NL. Had to use a good lock to lock down to lamp post but still no guarantee...Or...get a terrible colour used frame for cheap on the bay and build it up. Sometimes you see OMG paint jobs on good frames showing up, at least it won't get nicked and you won't notice as long as you don't look down Second hand is a very good option too there's nice stuff on gumtree/the bay.Steve Goff has a carbon frame for £660...made in UK and looks pretty stealthy http://www.steve-goff-frames.co.uk/carbon.shtml
