But yeah, trying to keep a commuter bike pristine is just making trouble for yourself. Commuter bikes get scratched, dented, dirty, vandalized, etc. If you want your favorite bike to stay pretty, don't commute on it. Pick up a thrift store bike and commute on that. It's just a lot more practical if you don't have the expectations of cosmetic perfection everlasting.
