Among the bargain locks I got recently, there was this Abus Diskus No.24. Smooth operating and rugged, it appears to be vintage. Takes an interesting variety of tension to get through it.

Happy #stocklocksunday everyone! As promised, here is a full pick and gut of the beautiful Abus 83/45 that Chris Capune gifted to me, as creator of the Suki logo. Still so grateful that he shared this. And, Chris created the unique Suki Bitting with a high cut at the back, to make is especially challenging.")
