Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

the white frame isn't hard to keep clean, the bar tape is a different story.

Hey it's white and it's a road bike (for two):

(Ignore the mismatched Campy levers.... They are both Chorus now... And I got Campy crank bolts )

One of the secrets to a white frame-

Don't go nuts with black, try to run as much silver bits as possible.

The Look bike up above is heavy with silver and white, not black. You are drawn to the frame instantly.

Black doesn't set off white as good as silver, it drowns it out.

This is my opinion of course, but all the really pretty white bikes are not black heavy.

That white fixed above too (bring44), note the tasteful silver bits, it is clean and not cheesy, it looks like an adults bike, not some lily livered gamer's ride.

If it's your job, then get crackin'! She's a dirty girl. Girly girls shouldn't have to clean their own bikes.
