Bikes are for riding. It's great when you have something shiny and immaculate, but it's not worth getting hung up about the condition deteriorating if you're gonna use it. And no point in having a bike if you don't use it, unless you just like to tinker then flog em on. It wouldn't put me off owning something expensive, you've just got to be realistic about it. But I probably wouldn't use something like that til summer anyway. I'd hate to see his reaction if he dropped it!
