Same hook every time? The suggestion for securing moving blankets seemed pretty good. If things tend to move around a lot, then a set of dense pipe insulation foam cut to size for the frame would probably work well. Though, I think you are most likely to end up with scratches near the chain/seatstay + rear axle area, or fork legs. I would definitely work the "social" aspect of the issue as well. If there's someone else who has a nice bicycle, then stowing next to them would have two people with the same type of concerns. It's probably most likely to be pedals or brakes with sharp edges or corners which will do the gouging. best of luck! - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes The Gallery needs your photos!
