Hey guys, I'm in seek of restoration advice?. The topic is rust removal. I recently bought a 1948 Monark Super Deluxe bike. It's in the cleaning stage as well as it being put back together from shipping. Bike has great SS soul survivor look and want to keep it that way. As is the bike looks good but I think the bike could use a little cleaning to it to give it more of a pop in appearance.
I'm in the cleaning stage of touching the bicycle rims. I'm looking into doing the cheap method of rust removal of dipping the rusted bicycle rims in some vinegar. Will this method destroy my wheels? If someone has tried this method please forward all thoughts of the do's and don'ts. I have not done this method before? I'm up to other methods as well and no the old metal polish and a toothbrush will not work, wheels need to be dipped IMO. Not looking to buy new rims, re-chrome or re-paint current wheels, I want to keep that SS look yes. And info will be grateful. Thanks
