I'm very interested in seeing this project be a success. I've customized U-locks over the years to improve their security. Here's one attempt:
(Krypt Rock Lock Mini LS with custom multi-fit "Bad Bones" with pipe sleeves to discourage attack.)
So given my security obsession, I'm willing to put up some cash and take some risk. However, given that they're only at 5% of the money needed to proceed, it looks like it's going to fail. Given that, I'm gonna hold off. But if things look rosier, I will go for it.
I encourage anyone here as fanatic about locks as I am to consider taking the risk too. Might be pretty damn cool to own a massive, one-off piece of future bicycle security history!
