I looked at these when they previewed last year and still think they look great. Although it is perhaps a discussion for the locks thread, would fitting a selection of these parts remove the need for more than one lock? If the answer was yes, then I think it becomes a more attractive proposition. ATM, I do a lot of day to day stuff on a proper clapped out beater. I have no problem leaving it locked outside the gym, Sainsbury's, central London shops etc. It is heavy and a pretty crap ride, but I gain great enjoyment from the fact that I can go most places and not really worry about my bike. I am in the process of rebuilding a Mercian frame into a really nice ride. If fitting some Atomic22 parts meant that I could continue to have a lock and leave policy with only one lock policy then I think that would be a good thing. Carrying two Kryptonite locks may offer great security, but their weight makes it a pain and removes some of the convenience of nipping out on a bike.
