Does anyone know of a good way to protect your chrome. My bike is totally chromed (it's in the bike section, Brian Rourke track) and had never seen the light of day until recently. Cant let this beauty get rust, any suggestions?

Clear coat plus wipe any water off of it after you have been riding in the rain and store in a dry enviroment i.e not a garden shed.

Oh shit, that frame is so buff.

I've got a feeling this pic won't show, but here's my other bike. Most of it's on my current ride.

my whip Chrome Paramount.. i tried to dry it off after ride if I have time and may be every 3 months when I overhaul the bike, I would use semichrome to polish the entire frame so all the oxidation and build up on surface would go away. anyone who used this shit before will tell you.. it's the shit...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
