Ha! Good point!
But to be fair, even in college when the bike was my only transportation, I never could keep those things shiny... they'd oxidize from the air or tarnish from sweat and rain. So I finally gave up and did the nail polish thing, a tip I read in Bike World (ahhh, Bike World, how I miss ya. BTW, does anybody know if that complete collection of Bike World magazines that was on Ebay a few weeks back end up with a listmember? I sure hope so...)

BTW, these days I find that the massive size of my middle-aged butt keeps those rivets polished with many fewer miles in the saddle than was needed back in college...
