A sloppy coat of paint does that, and reduces tea-leaf attention. At one stage I was forced to use some gifted taiwanesse cheap clunker which I fitted with a good drive chain until the spare cash allowed me to buy a very good GP frame. Had the bike shop braze on water bottle mounts and said I'd do the painting, which i just slapped on awfully. Bike shop guy was horrified, but as I pointed out, the average tea leaf would have a similar reaction and not look closely at the drive chainand other stuff and thus turn their attentin elsewhere. rode that bike for decades. That's what one guy, Andreas Borutta, in a German NG recommends. So some call their munged bikes "boruttized". Due to terrain my bikes are usually terribly dirty which reduces their attractiveness somewhat. A thief would likely pick that pretty spit-shined Sacttante over my mud-splattered 1982 road bike. Also, I bet most wouldn't know how to operate downtube friction shifters and before locking outside I shift it to the highest gear. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
