good D or U shackle type locks

[pompey phill]

 hello all,
I have just got my old steely back after a single speed conversion, and it looks and rides like a dream.  and I want to use it a lot more  for around town and just general riding,  so I don't really want some "tea leaf  'arf inching"  it  so I would like to buy a good lock.

any one got any recommends.

thanks
Phill

+1. A terrific bit of kit.

Don't listen to Clarion .  He's an old codger.  

An Abus Granit compared to a Kryptonite New York 3000 is the equivalent of cantilever brakes compared to plush, powerful Hope disks, or gas pipes  compared to titanium for frame tubes.

Ask your insurance company.

Seriously, ANY lock can be cut, all you can do is use a lock (and locking technique) that means your insurance company will cough up the dough.

thanks for the very quick replys,
i was edging toward the Abus Granit, i'm lead to believe that the new yorker has a possible picking fault ?

Top caveat!

Kryptonite locks used to have a circular key which was prone.  They replaced all locks with this key type more than three years ago, maybe even longer with locks with a blade key.   I have three locks replaced and have since purchased a fourth.   They have not worn out, they have different duties and are all deployed in eh bunker bar one, which sits awaiting use on the bike to be ridden.

I had lost four locked bikes to light-fingered Lenny, including one secured with an Abus, before I bought my first Kryptonite in 2000.   Since then Lenny has had to look elsewhere.

The ultimate U-lock, but it's heavy as H... and not pratical.

So I'll join the rest and say Abus Granite or  Kryptonite Evolution mini
