The Charge Plug is made of straight guage tubing (like old plumbing iron to be honest). Nearly all other bikes one could think of are made of double-butted tubing (lighter) now. The Plugs are popular as they're pretty bomb-proof. But in being that sturdy, they're heavy. In my opinion there are many, many bikes that would be a viable option to you, at the same price.

catvgale, look here for OTP bikes, and see here for the best bike locks and locking solutions.
This is not the LTW thread, but it sounds like your locking regime needs some improvement.
