Make sure to give it a healthy greasing after the wash. Otherwise you're just cleaning off the surface so that salt has an easier time eating into the metal.

You should move your rocking chair so you can get a better view of those damn neighborhood kids - then you get a good fist shaking in.

Don't be hatin' because it's a Peugeot. Not done yet but alls I need is a gold chain and some cool gold bar wrap.
Anyone know who makes that polished gold bar wrap?

all is granted about the chain rustyness, though.

Have you looked at the gear ratio this guy is running? It looks like 48X13 to my eye, maybe more. This forum is for providing advice, quit hating...

its 52x16. i know you're just trying to give me some advice, but honestly, i don't really need advice with my gearing. the way i have it set up is about as perfect as i can get it right now (for my preference). its fine going uphill, better going downhill, and awesome in the flats. also, by using the 52t chainring, my chainline is perfectly straight.

maybe it's fine, but 42t to 52t is a big jump and there's probably some compromise between the two that'll give you a happy medium between climbing and descending.
