You should see what my bikes look like after a ride. :eek:

I think that must be the after pics. But we need before, too :)

Wildwood 10-13-17 01:40 PM

Ooooops, missed a spot.
You better clean it all over again, wouldn't want to get your garage/house filthy!

Flog00 10-13-17 01:48 PM

My shop foreman told me to clean it!

"Filthy -- to me."

Just ride it through a car wash, and you'll be good to go.

Hobbiano 10-13-17 04:02 PM

From now on, only ride on dry, paved roads.

An Aurora… those went scarce around here quite a while ago.
Nice power plant. Very unGM like interior for its day.

Cleaning and polishing the Tomii is therapy.

Beautiful cat!

No offense, but that's not so grubby......

USAZorro 10-13-17 04:57 PM

Once worked with a fellow with the last name Fujii. He was pretty fastidious. :)

Sweet bicycle. I tend to treat a couple of mine with similar concern. Others... not so much. Shame on me.

The Golden Boy 10-13-17 05:07 PM

Dude- it's got hairs growing on it!!!!

rhm 10-13-17 06:12 PM

When took my Holdsworth apart, about a year ago, i cleaned all the parts and sent the frame to [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION] for modification. When I got it back, freshly powder coated, I built it back up. And it looked pretty clean. Not as clean as that Tomii, but clean for me. Oy, you should see it now... what a mess.

RobbieTunes 10-13-17 06:31 PM

I saw "Filthy Tomii" and thought "Tomei" and well, enough said.
Bummer.

jimmuller 10-13-17 07:20 PM

My bikes tend to have that "ridden" look.

repechage 10-13-17 08:55 PM

In the past year I ride a bike till the drivetrain gets dirty they hang it up and pull down a clean one, in a year or two I guess I will have to start cleaning them up.

Vonruden 10-13-17 09:00 PM

And still very purty...what a beauty.

Coreyk 10-13-17 09:16 PM

Nao Tomii is a fabulous bike builder, and you are a smart and discerning rider. I would bet that he and his wife would approve of the dirt-
Nao gets "beausage".
