Just found and unbelievably priced 18mm U-Lock. At just under £15.oo, yes, FIFTEEN POUNDS!!
Its the GRP Superdeal** U-Lock **(18mm). I bought one immediately. Is it any good you ask? Well I certainly think so.
The design is copied from the ABUS Granit 59 (their ultimate lock), and is a square-tubed affair. Heavy as expected, and I think the weak point may be the barrel, if at all. Its double locking also.
Get down to Peckham, and straight into Wilson Cycles [32 Peckham High Street, SE15 5DP / 0207-639-1338]. I still can't believe the price for the spec. He says, if he hasn't got them in, he can get them in within a day or so from an order. Good bloke, and an excellent example, of the can-do attitude that shows the small, family run LBS, at its best.
The attached photo has a Oyster Card holder with the lock, for scale.
