Answer: DUCT TAPE!
why would i care about old innertubes?
...and to respond to the why questions: why not protect the frame when it is being abused/in danger of being stolen, and then unwrap it when i can treat it well, don't have to worry about it and want to look at it? i plan on moving soon, so i won't always be in the city using my bike for work. i also don't get how powdercoating it will keep me from worrying about it. won't i worry about the powdercoat? plus that makes it look valuable once again... is a powdercoat invincible?
