Spick and Span

Howdy Folks, Am currently in the process of building my first fixie, it's the first bike that i've ever had genuine feelings for and want to look after her good, any tips on keeping her spick and span? Cheers!

Leave her indoors, take the bus... ;)

baby oil...

Clean rags, sponge, toothbrush, keep her indoors

avoid white, avoid the rain

white is right

chain tool, tray, muc off, large bag of rags

it's the first bike that i've ever had genuine feelings for

Take it from me, she'll break your heart... ;)

Treat her with some respect, dont call her a 'fixie'!!

FIrst you apply car shampoo from a bucket and massage well to loosen dirt, then you spray her down with muc-off and rub the dirty bits, spray again and leave to marinate.
When she is cooled down you gotta wipe her again with a sodden cloth.
You may need a toothbrush for the hubs, BB area, behind fork crown, etc.

Don't worry , that won't last. In no time you'll be lying to her and sneaking out to the pub. Soon you'll be eyeing up other bikes, you'll wonder what you ever saw in her and before you know it she'll be replaced...
'Twas ever thus. ;-(

dont change her, keep her dirty

dont change her, keep her dirty

Fnaar...

Perverts! ;)

Treat her mean, keep her keen.

As long as you ride her fairly regularly, she'll feel good about her appearance and won't give you any gyp.

Baby wipes.

Unscented ones.
