Old faithful
Had to spend about 10 minutes wiggling, jiggling and bashing this lock to try and get it to open so that I could secure my bike this morning. Eventually it did release and I decided to use it on my bike. I did find some WD40 to spray in it in the hope that it would be OK later.
Unfortunately when I left work the lock would not release. Another 10 minutes of increasingly frenzied key wiggling ensued and luckily it did finally release. I won't be using it again.
I bought the lock with a new bike in 1985ish. It was my first purchase with a credit card. As I was in my first job, the bank issued one to me. I think the bike, a Raleigh Wisp, cost £125 and the lock was around £30. It has done good service and was protecting the third bike I've had since the Wisp.
I do have another equally tough lock ready for service. This one will be retired gracefully.
