I understand, Help!
You go on the classifieds section and a bike with pristine paintwork and decorated lugs will sell for hundreds of pounds more, even if it is the same tubing and lugs underneath.
You'd kind of want to preserve that value. It's just more satisfying to look at a bike that isnt scuffed and scratched. I suppose that's a function.
