Great! I won't get tied in a knot over the cleaning. It seems different with this new road bike than with the other. The mountain bike didn't get cleaned but in the beginning and end of each season of riding. Maybe the "new" element will wear off and I'll be OK. It's a little like my cars over the years. The Yukon's were washed every once in a while. The Corvette's and Camaro were washed all the time. Even polished. I've been trained to appreciate maintenance on mechanical things, so that is probably more the concern than polish, who knows! Thanks again.
