Riding an Americolor Shelby
I picked up this crusty Monark Cycle King (the coolest manly-man name for a bike in my opinion) at the fall Grand Rapids Swap last month. I thought it looked cool but a little too rusty. So I decided to just do a light clean-up on it and make it a fun rider. It'll never be a valuable show stopper but it has nice honest aging that I love. It's not a dramatic change, and I didn't spend much time or money on it, but like the results. It got a very light Oxalic Acid bath followed by silver spray paint removal from everywhere. Then grease, re-assembly, and finally, a RIDE! It rides great. Take a look....
