I would so love to be someone who was completely at peace with the my bike is for riding ethos. I've tried very, very hard, but I'm just kidding myself.
So I've put some strips of Effetto Mariposa Shelter on the forks, cranks, chainstay, under the bottom bracket etc. Tape cost a fortune, will most likely be useless, and makes the bike look ridiculously crap.
But I'm happy.
