Why is this so complicated

[gt eunuch]

Moving buildings for work; Today, I commute 5 days a week by bike and I have a secure, covered parking spot where I do not even lock my bike up.

Where I am going to start working I have to park at a rack that is 15' off of a sidewalk, and barely covered (everything still gets wet when it rains). Seats/posts, wheels, lights have all been snagged of the rack at this current place. I can securely lock up my frame/wheels but the rest is kind of up for grabs.

Unfortunately for me, I am (almost too) attached to my entire stable. Logical solution is to 'get a crappy bike' to commute on here, but I don't want to commute on a crappy bike.

Paceline, what would you ride, if you didn't want to ride a 'crappy' bike, but had to lock it up daily on the street?
