After almost a year of commuting on the train with my Swift, the tape, originally applied to protect the paint job, is pretty badly gashed and gouged from being racked alongside the other bikes. The paint on the top tube is chewed in places as well. It's a mess. I saw this one guy with a mountain bike frame completely wrapped from front fork to rear dropout in what looked like tennis racket grip.
