• Nah, alu frame. But brand new bike, brand new bits. And basically every ride on it so far has been in the pissing rain. I feel terrible that it's getting coated in crap with no guards to protect the delicate bits from stinky old road spray, grit and crap.

  • Bar stone chips it should be able to take it? It's just, err, dirt. (u no cyclocross I take it)

    But like a new car/sofa/anything else...until it has battle scars there's always this "must stay pristine" phase ;)

  • Yeah, think it's that 'brand new' thing. More about the gears etc staying clean and free of road grit and crap for as long as possible. Kinda difficult to clean my bike now I live in a flat, no access to a garden or hose :(
