238.0. "Lock Lookup Lockup" by ISBG::MILLER (Marketing, the oldest profession) Fri Mar 20 1987 11:52

Having just bought another bike, I am thinking about buying equipment to
make it heavier, such as waterbottle cages, racks, lights, horns, pumps,
tool kits, and...the subject of this note...locks.
I have a citadel lock, with one of those bulky, 
cumbersome-to-carry-on-a-key-chain keys. I sure would like to have several
locks, one for each bike, and only one key.
"Call up the Citadel folks, and get a lock made with tumblers set to match
the other lock", you say. 
" I tried, but Citadel is in Stoughton, and there is no phone listing",
I say.
Is there another city they are in, or is there a different name for the
company, or are they out of business? Anyone know?

    	Errr, Ummm, .....,  Well, if you *REALLY* think someone is likely
    to steal it.....         Dunno how the average bike thief would
    get along with one o them thar contra_punt_tandies;  shoulder it
    and run ?  or  tuck it into the back of a VW ?  or   ??????   And
    there can't be *THAT* much of a demand for them on the bike black
    market, can there ?

    It seems that citadel is now distributed by Rhode Gear.
    
    The number is (401)-941-1700. (I read it off of the citadel box in
    the bike store.)
238.3*BIG LOCKS* for *BIG BIKES*MENTOR::REGWho is Sylvester McCoyWed Apr 22 1987 15:005
    	For "parking at work", or other regular places the most effective
    solution seems to be a *BIG* motorcycle lock that you leave on the
    rack at night (unless you work nightshift, in which case, oh, never
    mind...).  Anyway, about $60 at your friendly M/C shop, Lycra shorts
    *NOT* recommended for shopping at Nat Sheldon's.
