To each his own I suppose. If you have the time, the inclination and the money, and as it doesn't prevent you from being an integregrated and contributing member of society, then who am I to comment?

I do tend to take pretty good care of my stuff, and my "nice" bike gets at least two good shines(i.e. every surface cleaned and treated someway) each year. Functionally they certainly get what they need.
But then again I'm no longer concerned at all if there are obvious signs of use on the bike.
Caught a friend once as he was cleaning out the underside of his saddle(between the rails, over/forward of the clamp area) using a toothbrush.
I found that a tad excessive on a MTB in regular use. He OTOH thought it was perfectly normal, and said to his defense:" I am using a discarded tooth brush, you know."
