So the lock is tough as fuck but the way it's mounted is tits.
Seems like it would be good protection against opportunists. Coupled with a nice fat D-lock, I reckon (purely subjective opinion based solely on a video seen whilst moderately pissed on a few ales) it's probably a good one. In any case it's always there as an extra piece of security, and on a nice old boneshaker where extra weight isn't a hassle it seems like a worthwhile extra.
Purely my own opinion though. There may well be others who dispute this. When I was in Holland for a while a friend of mine broke a key off in a similar lock, which apparently is quite a common occurrence.
