Question. Is clear coat a reasonable solution for preserving this frame?
I know waxing is important, but a bit difficult for these hard to reach areas and i thought clear coat might also help preserve the decals.
Feedback appreciated.
Cheers,

Is that an early Mt bike with a solid fork? I was going to look at one of those this week and from the pictures it looked like it had 26" tires is that correct. What else can you tell me about it components and stuff like that? Can you post some pictures? Not sure about the clear coat but +1 on the wax
