This is an alumninum bike. The rust appears on chain, other metal parts, which can be replaced. I also use BikeLust polish, WD-40, and chain lubricant. But yes, this bike won't last as long as one kept inside.Paul Dornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893190816290007375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36250316.post-24166119543045369972008-05-03T07:26:00.000-07:002008-05-03T07:26:00.000-07:00I'm just curious -- what do you do to keep your bi...I'm just curious -- what do you do to keep your bike from rusting? Since you always leave it outside, I'm sure it gets exposed to the elements.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323839032733173648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36250316.post-42466309165921945232007-10-12T23:08:00.000-07:002007-10-12T23:08:00.000-07:00SIX bikes?
