What you might do is making your bike uninteresting for thieves. Paint it, and then put some stikers of cheap bikes on it. Nobody is gonna try to steal a bike that's worth maybe 20$. I wanted to add XTR shifters and brake on my bike, but i didn't want to give a gift to the next thief so what i tought of is to simply pass on some sanded papers so that you don't know if it's a 5$ piece or a 200$ one. And it gets much harder to sell for the thief. After all there's too many dummies as we were who don't care for their bike. I thief is going to look for a neglecting owner. hope you keep your bike for 15 years!!!

Not sure how you ended up in my reader, I guess via Boris' log. Yes, fun to read, however sometimes I wonder when we read the "I am now using the new pearlblackberry, its even working from the toilet" posts. I hope you have more luck with your next bike. hey patrick, seems that you have a few more readers besides your parents. Not sure how you ended up in my reader, I guess via Boris’ log.
