Hey, this is my first post too. I have a 2008 Flyer, the white one with carbon forks. I love the new paintjob but would hate to ride with a steel fork. Get some new carbon ones. And I agree with everyone else, the scum will be back, probably incredulous that you have an even shinier prize on offer.
I've had 3 bikes nicked in total, so I don't underestimate their ingenuity, the little buggers. A few months ago, My Dahon Speed Pro foldie was locked up outside Bayswater Waitrose with a big New York D-Lock. They somehow dismantled the frame by the hinge joint and walked off with it, putting it back together at their leisure later. Lock was intact of course, I still use it.
Even if they can't make off with your bike, (unlikely if they have boltcutters), they'll wreck it in some way to take out their frustration. Seriously scratch the paint, rip up the bar tape/saddle or something.
Gotta find a solution man, you're a sitting duck. Good luck.
The new steel fork actually rides comfier than the old carbon fork IMO - especially given the current state of the roads. Try having a spin on one if you get the chance, I think you'll be surprised. Sure it adds a bit of weight over the carbon fork but for 2010 we wanted to keep it @ it's £599 pricepoint whilst upspeccing the wheelset and chainset over the 2008/9 model. It was originally a cost-based spec choice but ended up working out really well in complimenting the ride.

The chrome clips are and should've been supplied with the bike, complete with clear sticky plastic to protect the paintwork underneath where they clamp onto the toptube. I'm guessing the mechanic who built it was in a bit of a hurry (or lazy) and opted for the quick and easy zip-tie method instead. Send me a pm with your address if you want the chrome clips and I'll stick a set in the post for you as we've got loads in the office.

LPG way north west on the Staples Corner flyover this evening heading into town. Sorry I didn't say hello - by the time I recognised you you'd already dropped the hammer and was off into the sunset! We were the two clowns trying to chase you down!
