Pardon my nasty suspicious nature!
Anyone have any pictures of their beloved old hack that they've used for years and never bother to clean 'cause it only gets mucky again? Or maybe no-one wants to take photos of those sorts of bikes!
Does anyone commute on a recumbent?
Mine just recently got new rims/hubs/chain/bar wrap and does look pretty clean as it had a bath. I'll have to snap another photo later in the year when it's a bit more grungy.
I commute in the Sacramento CA area now so it takes a couple of weeks to get gunked up. When I lived in Vancouver WA it took a day or two and you couldn't even tell what color it was any more.
