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 :(

A cleanup of the jockey wheels / chain with a toothbrush every so often is good.
A brush & babywipes get most grot off easily. Unless you like mud cycle diving ;)

Look for a room with a large sprinkler-type device mounted a foot or so above head height.

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 ;)
