Hi Borgqueenx,

I guess that you mean an ABUS or AXA frame mounted lock, but as you don't appear to have braze ons so they are not really an option.

I know that in The Netherlands frame locks are fitted to lots of bikes, but that is not so in lots of other countries, so the alternative is a lock that you carry with you such as a 'D' type, cable or chain lock.
The problem with frame locks is that they don't stop anyone from picking the bike up a and carrying it away. I know some of them have a facility to also attach a cable so it can be secured to something immovable, but thieves can get past those without too much difficulty.

true, but i live in town and not many places have metal things where i can chain my bike to. There is no ring lock for around the wheel for this bicycle that i got?

You need either V-brakes and an adaptor or rivnuts in the seatstays. The latter option is a risky one with some seatstays which can be weakened. Also tyres about 2" are the maximum that will fit through a frame lock without deflating.

So no street furniture or cycle racks?
Where do people leave their bikes?

Against buildings and in racks(for wheel only) most citys in my country the netherlands are actually great, but in my neighbourhood its crappy.
Is there not a adapter for the frame/setup that i have?

My advice is to go to local bike shop and seek their advice.

The Axa comes with two metal straps that go around the seat stays. I am using that setup at the moment but I don't recommend it, it can be cut off really easily with a small file by those who know how. I have the chain and always attach the bike to something, at the moment it is attached to the stair rail downstairs.

My current built has rivnuts ready to accept a frame lock. When the lock is screwed to the frame you can epoxy glue the plastic cache that hides the screws on to the lock and it becomes difficult to remove the lock without power tools.

My second choice was the Kryptonite

When I get a decent front wheel and more expensive saddle I will buy the 220 cm Kryptonite cable and use it with my frame lock to secure both of those.
