I must agree, Amanda. Insanity, I tell you!
(I have a white road bike, but that's not the same thing at all....)

But white bikes are hot...
Except the grips. No matter how good they may look, not even OCD can keep those clean.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

LOL - at least you would know when it needs a clean.
DirtDiva - have you been off eating cake for awhile? Good to see you back.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

I have a white road bike, and it's beautiful but it shows every speck of dirt and splashed gatorade and grease. When I had a mountain bike, it was black, and I got away with lots of caked mud and who knows how much grease. But white bikes are awfully pretty!

I don't get white on mountain bikes either. I have a white Fox fork, and I am OCD about rubbing it down. I wish it were a different color.
Who decided white was sexy anyway?

I don't know why white is "sexy" but this all white bike just looked slick. Maybe it was imagining the easy of accesorizing? DH pointed out if our record drought doesn't end any bike we ride looks like crud here. I should wipe down my black one before I go ride today.
