Bandanas around Frames?
I really can't see the point in this... I can see tube pads to protect the frame, but wouldn't it just fall off? And then it would still scratch your frame right? WHY!

Its for wiping the sweat off your brow, after a near death no brake missed stop sign.
I think they look like snot rags. Unless your 2-Pac riding a fixie then you dont need one.
Red or Blue what side you on fool????
Its also like buying a nice new $5,000 buttery leather couch only to put plastic covers on it.
Keep that frame pristine for the next owner!!

Funny, I have one and it keeps my top tube from getting excessively scratched/ banged up from a quick lock up to say a pole outside a cafe or take out.... Sure beats having any uglytop tube protector nonetheless. Not to mention a bandana adds personality to your bike. Plus I get to sport my bandanas from japan without looking all gangsta, they are this amazing shade of deep indigo electric blue that caught my eye during a trip there and no they're sadly not NJS certified.

A lot of times they are used to cover up cable stays on conversions so they don't catch on your pants. Seems like a good alternative to hacking them off.

Your cog is slipping.
I keep a bandana in my bag to tie my dreads back while riding and sometimes wrap around my top tube when locking up.

I get runny noses when riding in the cold, so I just use mine to blow my nose.
