Child Neglect

[FeistySquirrel]

Going through my phone photos, I just came across this before and after shot; how could I ever neglect my baby like this?

Harsh winter etc.

I'm happy to report that since this photo was taken, in fact, I believe since the day after this photo was taken; she has been restored to shininess.

I'm sorry but you deserve to be strung up and quartered for even subjecting us to that dirty brown rusty excuse of a drive train !!!!









Glad you cleaned and lubed .... Cleaned and lubed

ugh...

Blimey. You ever heard of oil ?

 

[FeistySquirrel]

I don't even know how it got so bad... I think I must of just put it away very wet. As this was when it wasn't ridden for a while. I don't like to think what would of happened if I tried to ride it like this...

This was the first, and last time I've ever had rust on any of the bike

Aaaaaaaargh! My eyes!!!!

I hope I've brought awareness to you all now... This is happening all over the country. For just 3 Flapjack bars a day; you can help stop this neglect.

We need photographic proof that it's all nice again. Otherwise we will be round with a big spanner !

It's true, I've just eaten 3 flapjack bars to test this theory. Then I checked my bike, and lo and behold there's not a spot of rust in site.

Off to stock up, need more oat based snacks

When I get my lazy backside out of my bed I will get said photographic proof

@FeistySquirrel - the damage is done!

If I let my bikes become anything like that I'd hang my head in shame.

Any bike I have gets checked / cleaned / lubricated once a week if it's been used.

I still cant say more then ugh...

Taken less then 5minutes ago.

If anything this thread should be used to give rusted bike owners a new glimpse of hope
