Cool! I can't wait to go buy some Pledge wipes! If I get the orange ones, she'll smell nice too. Thanks for the great suggestions. I'll be motivated to wipe her down after each ride because she really is quite pretty when she's clean!

As for the white bar tape, I'll soon be switching it out to black. I kept getting flats out on the road when I first bought the bike and my grimy hands completely wiped it out. I tried Soft Scrub and Magic Erasers and the tape still looks really gross. The bike also came with a white seat and that was also filthy after just one ride. Luckily I didn't like the seat anyway so it was replaced immediately with my Terry Butterfly (in black!).
