Finally riding a big boys bike
I've over-read and researched myself into a state of indecision; hopefully some voices of experience could compare/contrast in a nutshell for me...
My pre-war Dayton handle bars have no trace of the original plating, just a pitted, rust-free metal patina I'd like to preserve/protect. Some recommend sealants of boiled linseed oil, others say bees wax, some mix the oil and waxes, and others say more contemporary car waxes are the way to go.
What would you use if this was yours? Would you use the same on the frame where I've got original paint (and areas of the copper/cyanide wash patina) as well?
Thanks.
