Bikes: Heavy, with friction shifters

Copper grease prevents rusting of bolts and threads together better than most other greases, while it doesn't help loosening from normal use like some greases can do.

So my preferred choice would be steel bolts + copper grease on the threads (and all the mating surfaces where bolt touches the thing it holds tight).

If using aluminium bolts, use the weakest (blue) loctite you can find.
