Truly wonderful looking bike ianmoss. One thing I always notice when looking at your pictures is that your steed is spotless. My white ride is constantly filthy, whether it be mud, oily fingerprints etc., regardless of how much time I spend cleaning it. So...how do you keep it so immaculate?

A good old soap and water to get off most of the dirt then I use Carb cleaner (from Motor stores for about a fiver) plenty of that on the oily bits and a good rub of every chain link to make sure it's spotless. A new clean rag or kitchen paper with carb cleaner / window cleaner etc (anything that is alcohol based) will clean off any crease from the paintwork. Spray the frame (not the wheels braking surface) with some polish, helps keep the filth at bay a bit. Here's evidence that my bike gets dirty - no mudguards for me!

I just thought you photoshopped the pictures before you posted them

Bank Holiday Monday - time to tidy the garage. Blagged a metal topped table from some friends, perfect for making a new bike cleaning station!

...and get the colour scheme of your bike over to white and 'aqua marine' asap - clashes with the red!

Quality bike, how you manage to keep that clean is beyond me. That cap is phenominal will have to look into them.
PS what measurements headset cap do we need?
