I think that's potentially a good idea except ltc said the existing chain won't fit on the Fahgettaboudit, and having the chained lock on the head tube might still allow a scrote to remove the handlebars and lift the lock up 'n' over to the top tube and cut that to release lock and chain, after releasing the front wheel. We prefer the seat tube and rear triangle routing for the chain because the scrote can't take the rear wheel off without making a second cut of the frame or of the wheel & tyre, none of which are likely to be appealing to him. Still good approaches and probably all sufficient for this value of bike (although a scrote often won't know how much a bike is worth, of course).
