since this year seemed to be well worn bicycles that look like it's about to fall off, just found this in Flickr, great used of motorcycle lock to secure rear wheel to frame, I like;

Those bars look awesome

does anyone know what frame that is? absolutely beautiful.

looks handmade loveliness..... italian maybe ?

generic lugged track frame (possibly 531 awesomeness) with fork from Fixie Inc. I think.

bareknuckle/brassknucle, the steel one

reason i say handmade is cos of the thin stays...
why i said italian i don't know...
italian = good

that looks to be quite a comprehensive lock-up.

back wheel secure
saddle n seatpost secure
frame secure
front wheel secure

does anybody beg to differ, is anything at risk, would you reccomend this system?

Good thing about having a shitty frame(in terms of paintwork - or lack of) is that the chain on the saddle/seatstay can jangle about and not have to worry about scratching the paint. I know that some couriers thread the chain through an old innertube to stop paintwork damage. Very practical and looks wicked....

Just realised I've stated the very obvious!

Think that bike would look so much better with a black front rim too, the white doesn't seem to work

I still can't see the bit of chain helping much though..Would't simply wisting the seat around till it the chain snaps be pretty easy? (Without damaging the rails)

I think you under-estimate the strength of a bike chain!

Maybe the twisting force on the chain would make me think that the plate connecting the links may pop out? :S

Yes, but it takes time. If the bike chained next to it is an easier target then they'll take that instead.

bars and stem, spokes, saddle, pedals, cranks, nipples, hubs...lock them up as well, that would be a good system.

Oh trust me, it's really fucking strong otherwise we wouldn't be riding track bike in the street!

the white one is realy awsom!

True, but if you look at the way the chain is orientated, you would'nt be able to apply any force perpendicular to the pivot direction, by twisting the saddle.

(NB: might be obvious, just wanted to use the word perpendicular)

Agree, bike chains are not strong laterally. Quite easy to break a chain when bending it from side to side.

no chance, you would not be able to twist it enough in the stays etc,to break the chain. the frame will get badly damaged too. tough as old boots as they say.

It looks just like my beater-frame.. only thing different are the forks and the bridge between the seatstays...

I was meaning when off the bike so I sort of missed the point, whoops.
