Well I've heard it suggested that these do get nicked a bit. Fuck knows why, perhaps it's because the toerags' richer mates buy them so it's the nicest bike they see on a regular basis. A pair of full length mudguards should make it sufficiently uncool to deter the average scumbag. I fitted 700c sks chromoplastics to mine since the 26" versions are only available in stupidly wide. They need to be wrapped round a bit further to tighten up the radius and you may have to make a some brackets to fit them closer to the wheels since the clearances are huge, but they will keep you nice and dry.
