Late 1920s Rollfast Roamer Project

[jacob9795]

I picked this bike up in Salinas CA. It was found in an attic recently. The bike was heavily oxidated...

Paint preservation was in this order:
Disassemble
Detergent wash
WD-40 and #0000 steel wool
Detergent wash
Oxalic acid bath (30min in low concentration)
Rinse
5W-30 motor oil and #0000 steel wool
Detergent wash
Buffing compound for enamel paints
Light coat of motor oil

Rims:
Oxalic acid bath overnight
Robert Dean single tube tires

Just waiting for some parts to come in the mail. I need a crank to finish the project.
Thanks
JG

I finally got this rust bucket on the road; bike rides great. I went to my favorite pub for a beer last night.

I just need to find a badge for it. Thanks for checkin' out my thread....
