Love seeing this beautiful restoration done.i have seen a lot of interest in these motorbikes lately.the tanks,racks and drop stands prices have escalated lately.are these 28 bikes the new hot item? I've done a few and they ride like glass
That's inspiring. I have a project in the same shape and have just finished the disassembly. It's a 1916 Schwinn built private label. I won't paint or plate myself, but want to do as much prep work as I can before handing it over. I can see the slightest hints of the paint under the rust in a few places and am going to hit it with steel wool to try and reveal the original colors. What grade of steel wool is safe for this purpose? And do you use anything with the steel wool to help the process along? WD40? Degreaser? Pentrating oil? etc. Thanks for any advice. Gary
Hey Gary, if you're just looking for the original color, look behind the badge, or inside the bottom bracket. But if you're just trying to uncover and remove rust, then yes, 0000 steel wool and wd-40 works pretty good. Along with patience . You should start a thread, I'd like to see what you have.
