• @tynan How is it your bits look like they're brand new? You had an Argon eight years ago! You haven't been hand polishing everything daily I'm imagining. Or maybe you have...

    How is it your bits look like they're brand new?

    I treat my bike parts like I treat my women, I rinse them off every couple of weeks and have their teeth checked at Evans.

    But seriously, I am a nazi when it comes to looking after bike parts, I actually find it difficult to look at images of parts/frames on ebay where the seller places the frame on bare concrete or a brick wall, especially a frame with a nice paint job, placing them directly onto concrete ends up scratching the paint work, if even only on the BB shell . . . . Ooooh and just imagine what would happen if it fell over, these people are animals ! If a frame got scratched like that I'd have to have it put down . . . placing a frame on stone or brick is like fingernails on blackboard to me. When I kept my wheels and frames in storage they were . . . no joke . . . vacuum packed, lol.

    Notice in the photo of the Argon 18 Electron I am resting it on two pieces of folded felt to protect it from . . . . . wood !! Wood !! Don't you people know what wood can do to a bike !
