Yup, I remember you said that, and you inspired me to do that. I rubbed oil on every nut and bolt, too, since I tend to leave bikes outside more than I should, and this bike sat in snow for a few days. Our humidity goes up and down a lot, which is the worst thing. I understand bikes don't rust in Washington and Oregon, because it gets humid once a year in the fall and stays that way until the summer. My daughter in Olympia says the bikes on the bike racks outside aren't rusting.
