I'm starting a new thread for all of you,and me to share your tips and ideas on the proper care and feeding of your ride.Feel free to post the things you find you do to make your ride pleasant and enjoyable.
One thing I do,is after every ride,is to give the bike a good wipe down with a dry cloth,then a silicone treated cloth.I'm a fan of vintage steel bikes,they're sweet rides,and I give them TLC.
