    How do you keep the whites white?

    So here it is. My new Specialized Ruby Pro-my 50th Birthday present! This bike flies! Just got it yesterday- (the birthday is next week the 18th). In honor of my 50th I did my first sprint triathlon on June 20th and was thrilled with the experience!

    I do have a question however-that white seat & handlebars look very sporty but how do I keep them looking that way?

    The Mr. Clean magic Erasers worked really well on my old bike's white tape.

    both oxy-clean and simple green work well.

    congratulations on your new bike (and on your 50th).

    it looks like your saddle nose is angled down. is that intentional? if you find undue pressure on your hands/arms/shoulders/neck, that will likely be the culprit.

    Soft Scrub for the bike tape. Magic Eraser doesn't clean the tape very well but may work wonders on the saddle.
