The frame becomes the lock...it's an interesting idea but also slightly concerning - would you trust that frame?

"bike that can't be stolen" is a bit of a stretch
It must rely on some sort of locking mechanism... and locks can be broken.

Reminds me of the unsinkable ship. That turned out ok, didn't it?

nice idea and don't see why it wouldn't work or sell, it's the title that's incorrect - marketing anything as "UN-stealable" is just inviting criticism. it's a different method of preventing theft...at least of the frame anyway. Alexei Sayle showed how to steal bikes in "didn't you kill my brother" comic strip presents 1988. just take a chainsaw or blow torch to the tree/ lamppost 😯
