I dont want to be an ass here but after browsing through some 20 pages of this thread I cant help but to notice that most of the bikes look like they never ever get used. Not only are they well functional but they shine like they came out the shop just a minute ago.

Whats up with that? I look after my bike and grease it and all that but heck no matter how much I polish it'll still look worn out..

Well... no more beginner bike (Stylus) for me...

Here she is:

St. Martin Class X2 18.1 Frame
Suelo V2 fork
KHE SwissMiss bar and stem combo
Fly Integrated Headset
Ody front brake
Poverty brake lever
Rainbow Pads (tho' fabuloth!)
Ody Slic Cable
Delrin Hiker Helpers Bar Ends
KHE Wheels
Taska Rear hub
St. Martin EcoFlat Cranks and Sprocket
Ody LE PC Pedals
Redline chain
St. Martin Seat Post
Plastic Seat
St. Martin Pegs
KHE Premium Folding Tires
Sadio Plastic BB
Custom Nard Guard (made by me)

Complete bike weight: 20.96lbs.





Hoya: I think almost everybody rides hard here whose posted their bike. My excuse for my bikes looking nice all the time is that I keep all my stuff like that - my cars, my motorcycels and all my bicycles.

Why? Because I work my ass off for what I have. Especially my dirt bike... which I've tumbled down hills, dropped it many, many, many times over and after every ride I detail the hell out of it to look nice again after it's been caked in 4 inches + of mud.

My brother is the same way. He rides grueling 24 hour cross country MTB, and his stuff always looks new (his bikes range in the $5K range). He and I have a philosophy of really keeping our hard-earned possessions (and I do mean very hard earned, especially when working a 100% commission job, like me) very nice. :)

Exactly , Why wouldnt ya keep you $1000 plus bike nice even a street or mountain bike clean. I work hard for my stuff ,it's worth it to me to take the time.A clean piece of equipment runs better.Even my mower gets bathed and cleaned so it will not only run better ,but last longer as well!! Just a personal habit some people do and some don't. No biggie   ;D :beer: Dion nice ride by the way, that Orange kicks that Green up a few!!! :beer: :beer: :beer:

I repeat, I dont mean to sound like and ass, and I think most bikes look really good. Its just that I fail to see how it actually works. No matter how much you clean something there'll still be scratches and wear that you cant polish away. I mean, even the tires look brand new in most pics. I clean my bike off alot too but there is no way I'd ever get it too look more or less brand new unless I re-paint it..

No pun intended at all. Its just that it seems more or less impossible

To Hoya: bikes look new because that is when you post pics.  I only post when I have added new parts.  Why post a pic of a busted up dirty ride? It doesn't mean we don't ride our bikes.

Bikes are photogenic. Like when some ppl look better in photos than in real life.
Bikes are actually covered in small scratches and scuff marks, but they never show up in photos. My bike is the same, the frame and cranks have scratches all over, but never show up. Loads of ppl also change parts and post before its used.
