I'm 6'1". This is what I had to do to make a Typhoon fit me, baby ape hangers and a booger welded layback seatpost. That was a fun bike!

Even if I flipped the Lucky 7 post around, it wouldn't be long enough for me to have any decent leg extension.

There's a good chance this bike will end up hanging on my wall, anyway.

Do like I did and go buy some 5/8" round stock and make up a longer seat post... Easy fix... RideOn...Mark..

Evaporust is no secret, right?

No, just expensive... My go to is apple cider vinegar, does the same thing and a gallon is a fraction of the price...

nice gearing on that.
if you want it to roll really quick & easy and ride well consider a pair of schwalbe fat frank tires

I like the Evaporust because it's fast (and I'm impatient) and it lasts a long time, so I can reuse the same liquid on multiple items. A gallon jug is about $25, but it lasts a really long time for me.

I kinda dig the patina, so I would have just cleaned the bike & lubed the drivetrain. All the plating is gone, so now its obvious the pedal was stripped. Just my 2c.

Wow, that's pretty cheap not as cheap as cider vinegar that iv'e had and been using for over 3 years at $4.99 a gallon .....

I wanted all of the drivetrain to be clean. Still plenty of patina left. I think it's going to look amazing when I am done.
