Thanks for the opinion. I hadn't considered the inviting attacks issue; I'd rather avoid that.
It does look a little more substation than the thin cable cafe stop locks though. I still haven't got a lock I can lug around on long rides that would cope with me being out of sight for a short time which limits the available stopping points.
Because it looks insignificant, I think it will practically invite attacks, and thereby the risk of damage to bikes. I wouldn't recommend it. Part of lock security is the psychology that tells thieves that a lock looks strong. The opposite would apply here.
