Default Bicycle frame as antenna?

We've been having trouble with bicycle thieves in my neighborhood. I'd
like to set up a "bait-bike" that includes a low-power pulse beacon AM
transmitter inside the frame and ***no visible*** antenna outside the
frame. I'd like to have approximately 1-mile range. I've built a
couple of Ramsey kits, but don't have much expertise.
- I'd appreciate any recommendations for a transmitter circuit.
- Will the frame perform as an adequate antenna?
- How about a dipole made from insulated wire taped to the exterior of
the frame?
