Goo on a new bike?

Last night I spent some time getting the stuff off the bike. I started cleaning tape and stuff off the frame, I cannot believe how much goo and stuff gets on these things. I still do not have all of it off. There were a couple of places where I thought there was a small scratch and it turned out to be just packing remnants and tape backing. I also noticed that the fake leather material that covers the seat is slightly separated/bubbled in the very center of the seat, I am guessing that I might be able to take the seat apart and re-glue the material down. I am also thinking about getting a brown leather seat that is a little bit larger.

Tonight I am going to try getting these things done before I go to my Bible study:

  1. Remove the reflectors from the wheels and handlebars
  2. Finish removing all of the gunk off the frame and components
  3. See if I can fix the seat upholstery
  4. Go for another ride!
I am also thinking about trying to find a tank (or fabricate one) that mounts in the frame (A) instead of above it (B).
