If you want to lock the frame you can get a Hunter style frame or a
Nimbus 36" style frame. There is no practical way to lock a standard
frame unless you get a ring welded to it that the lock can go through.
For the seat you can loop a cable 'like this'
(http://tinyurl.com/2cyd6q) through the seat rail attachment and the
frame. The picture in that link shows how you would secure a bike
seat. You don't need a lock with that method since the cable loops
around like a noose. It is something that you leave on all the time.
If you have a standard unicycle seat you can cut holes in the plastic
seat base or carbon fiber seat base to run the cable through. Then
loop it around in a similar manner like the rail style seat.
Don't use any quick release do-dads. You can get bolts (fasteners)
that don't use a proprietary tool rather than the standard hex key. An
opportunistic thief isn't going to have the proprietary tool with them
so they aren't going to be able to remove any of the bolts. Talk to a
bike shop to find out what kinds of proprietary bolts are available.
If you use a U lock make sure that it isn't bigger than it needs to be.
A lock that is too big will have too much free space where the thief
can fit their tools. The extra space gives them room for prying tools
and little mini hydraulic jacks that can bust the lock.
