^^I love bikes as much as the next man, they are beautiful machines and should be ridden, even if only on dry sunny days (rarely!). It's the lack of any intention to EVER fit pedals and actually oil a shiny chain that pisses me off. The buy pristine everything/put together with white cotton gloves/polish inside of threads/hang on wall culture means many less bikes to ride and pushes prices up.
