Nice interesting exercise; well done! Prepping for winter down here is a little different; bikes are used all year round so there is constant maintenance. Winter specific changes; if I am going to ride before work I need a light and new cycling clothes (warm longs) At least its dry during winter and the cold can be overcome with some peddling if the clothing keeps out the wind generated.
Before, 115 miles into a 130 mile 2-day off road mini-tour:After a good hose down and scrub:I only used a hose and sponge so no pics of the tools, sorry.I do still need to clean out all the nooks and crannies, and adjust the brakes and oil the gears so will post another pic once I get that done.001 - Etherealicer501 - zoidberg741 - hiraethus

You guys take much better care of your bikes. Mine's at least 24 years by now (got it from my father) and it was time for some love. The chain was way worn out so that had to be changed and the textile saddle that my father added was worn out too. I have a hard time arguing myself into changing stuff since the second-hand market is filled with great bikes that would have costed me less than changing the chain and the new saddle.Pictures:BeforeAfterNew vs. old saddle & tools
