I didn't realize it at the time I bought the bike that I could and would enjoy riding on the beach. Just gonna have to keep it lubed a little more than normal!

what you do with a steel frame is spray 'frame saver' inside it before you assemble it. this is a rust preventive that will line the tubes. then wax up the outside real nice with good grade car wax. THEN install the bottom bracket, shifters, headset, all the bits and cables and stuff.
