She's a dirty tatty Claud Butler 531 steel tourer, due some new wheels. She carries me to work and back every day, to the shops, to the pub, and anywhere else I care to roam. I don't care if she's old and ugly because it makes her less desirable to chavscum thieving toerags.
Oh I do lock it up, I see the tattyness and general grime as a secondary deterrent.
Re-reading this thread I must say I'm somewhat perturbed to note that I've anthropomorphised my bicycle, how girly is that? Pretty sure I've never done that before. Should I seek counselling?
I got mine free with a four pack of Tetly bitter, a giant crusty loaf and a black pudding (among other things) from a corner shop in West Lulworth, I'm not sure they do red, but you could maybe try here. You might have to flog some on ebay though, because they come in 500s.
