OK, seems since the move from the old C+ site (Sorry for those of you who are not from there) no one has asked about locks. So I'm going to be the first. Although it's mainly out of laziness, as I can't be bothered to research locks my self.
I'm looking for a lock for my sons bike, needs to be light weight have a way of attaching it to the bike and be very easy to use. The lock only needs to be a deterant, so no need for a hard core D-lock, a standard cable lock will be fine, but not a silly cheap Tesco value type one, I'm looking to spend £20-30. As it's main use will be locking the bike at his school, which is already quite secure, with a secondary use as and extra lock if we go out togther, the main lock been my Bordo.
To summarize, the lock should be

To summarize, the lock should be
- Light
- Come with frame/seatpost attachment
- Be of a coil style design
- Have lots of keys, as you know what childern are like (or atl east 2, so I can have a spare one, and get it copied when need be)
- Minimuim of 12mm think, so it has at least some strength to it
