Would thieves really know the difference between a battered, gas pipe steel frame and a battered handmade 853 one with max forks? Agree the chain is maybe a bit flashy though, I'm sure it'll be less obnoxious after a few more rides!
I'll bet thieves in larger cities tend to educate themselves about bikes based on their clients tastes. Not always including those gathering funds for drugs of course.
