exactly, i don't do this maintenance crap with my bike, if my bike gets some dirt on it i just leave it there, not even worth the 30 seconds to clean it up, got better things to do with my time, like anyone ever cleans their bike LOL.
today i just found out about this new product called framesaver, let me tell you if someone saw me waxing my bike or applying framesaver rust proofing on my bike they would have think i lost my head. just a bike, meant to be used an abused, i wish these manufacturers would stop cutting corners, these 0.4mm thin steel bikes won't even last 20 years. framesaver lol.
and i lock my bike outside in my backyard, rain or shine, just a bike, no need to baby it. and i got a good bike too, $500+ dollars. i take care of my gear, the way bikes are suppose to be taken care off. very little.
