Rain-x treated maybe?the real question is if Purple is harder to keep clean compared to all the other colors - ive never seen this bike dirty even on a ride together

Don't piss off the red guy
I think ZAR would have been a better name.

Rock and roads?
On road, I think that's fine. If you expect to encounter gravel/dirt, they're gonna be super noisy.
Usually like at least 10mm of clearance, more for mud.

Refresh(ing)
Still have to put the bottle cages back on, but took her down to the bare frame, cleaned, scrubbed, waxed, and reassembled with new housings/cables. They've not been cut at all since I've owned it, so it was time to shorten everything. Got a chance to work through my spare parts and use the "just-in-case" stuff; I had to take out a bit of space in the downtube stops to properly clear the liner so I could attach the grub seals...but I milled right through the part that was holding the "wing" together, so I had to switch that side for a regular stop. Oh well, I'll get another and figure something out.
I had to roll the tape back a bit, since the last (last, last) time I pulled it off, the bias started unraveling at the taper. Maybe I'll try pinking shears next time, but...probably not. Probably just won't cut a taper...the Newbaum's is pretty flexible, and the end is gonna be covered anyway.
Gotta see if I can find someone who will paint the frame pump tubing to to match the yellow. Not even gonna try to match metallic flake. As soon as the weather gets a bit better, I'll throw the roadie pedals back on.
