Since Im finally able to post pictures , will try to post updated flicks of work as I progress . This a bike I got from cabe member ( bikeworder ) about a year ago. It was about 75% of complete ride . I have almost everything needed to get on the finished and rollin.
After spending some time trying to remove blue house paint to reveal nice original color I had NO such luck . After looing at many other posts of dif. bikes I thought the bare metal look would be cool . Rustjunkie ( Scott ) helped me get wheels right and even changed out rear cog to a 10 tooth . Thank you Scott . Bike rides so smooth . So I decided to add some more weight to carry around and added tank ,horn w/ bat., and rear carrier . Bike has about 50 miles on this setup . As much as i like bare metal look . I stay near the beach and even parking in garage I just can not keep darn surfice rust off . I cleared fenders . I sprayed w-d 40 on frame and other parts , but rust never sleeps . Or it just attacks when I do . Dont know whether to break it down and slap some paint or leave it bare metal . Michael / Dodgerblue
Indeed, boiled linseed oil is the way to go on bare metal. Was just reading a thread on the HAMB about guys using it on bare metal and/or heavily patina-ed vehicles.
