Depends on what floats your boat. I used to HATE working on bikes!! And I never, ever washed a racebike in years of riding them. Filthy, unrepaired damage, held together with duct tape and cable ties - all good.

But lately I've actually really been enjoying mechanical work, performance tuning and yes, making them look pretty! Although if I'm honest, I still very rarely wash them Some habits don't change.
