I think the problem with this is all the sweating I do inside it just drips down and is corrosive. Riding inside and getting sweat all over bike is way worse than riding outside in almost anything. I am too lazy to wipe it all down everyday and just caulk it up to, it is replaceable.

Heck, I'm too lazy to wipe it all down once a month!

I have already spent more time asking and figuring it out than simply buying a used frame and starting over.

  I hate to be a retro grouch but to me your basic frame with exposed cables, BSA BB, and rim brakes is still about the easiest to maintain and work on. Granted not as spiffy and up-to-date as DIY and the rest but not going to change your performance all that much. Especially at my age.

I agree, but I'm happy being a retro grouch. Up-to-date fashion? Meh.
