Amazing new bike lock!

[GLC1968]

It's a really nifty concept, but the price! However, if you've got who-knows-how-much sunk into the bike to begin with...

GLC: Yeah, I'm taller than you, if I remember correctly, I have a bike that's too long, and it's STILL longer than my top tube!

ETA: Okay, it's not quite as bad as I thought. The "bow" is 23", the locking mechanism adds another inch, but looking at the video it's carried separately. Of course, given my top tube is about 21"...

Yeah, and mine is only about 19"! 20" if you include the depth of the head tube, I guess. I can't imagine having 3 - 4 inches of lock sticking out under my seat. It would make my wedge bad unusable. I wonder if it could stick out a little in front perhaps? I think I need to go watch the video again.

Honestly though, I think this lock is a VERY good idea. Yes, it's expensive, but $200 is nothing compared to the cost of my bike (plus the sentimental value I put on it...never mind the fact that it cannot be replaced!).

Editing to add: I bet I could put it on my down tube, which is longer, or I could let it stick out in the front a little. If we ever move back to an urban area, I'm getting one of these things!
