That chain would suck to have to carry around. I see crappy bikes like that locked up around my neighborhood right next to nice road bikes. I think if I were in the business of stealing a bike, I'd go for the nice road bike. My bike lock is pretty serious but that's because bike theft is rampant around here. Ha!

I'm still hoping to use the photo one day. It's only 3.4mp, but it's big enough for a leaflet or something. Yeah, it blows the mind. I’m still hoping to use the photo one day.
