Not that I had a lot of choice in what was available for me to get, but the coming recumbent will have an aluminum frame rather than a cro-moly one. I have never owned a cycle with an aluminum frame before.

Q4. What are your tips for the "care and feeding" of an aluminum cycle frame? Esp if it has to be stored outside? #Recumbent

@ascentale @meganL @bikenite A4. Keep it away from salt water, and make that any non-aluminum parts are adequately insulated from the aluminum (or they will start a very cozy relationship, effectively welding them together until the aluminum corrodes to the point of failure). Keeping it clean can’t hurt either. #BikeNight
