    You are sad but in good company, I regularly put car polish on mine and have been known roughly once a year to completely strip and clean every part with a tooth brush. Cleaning my bike in the winter can take as long as the ride. :roll:
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    Not sad at all.
    I can easily spend an entire day cleaning, stripping, lubing and playing with the bits (still talking about the bikes btw :lol: ). I can easily spend over an hour just cleaning my cassette!

    My Wife always says i give my bikes more attention than her..and she's right. I tell her that i enjoy being with them more, because they give me less hassle :lol:

    After a dirty ride, i will spend well over an hour cleaning her down, that's the bike, not the Wife!!
