Yep, still have and ride the Humber , don't really ride in the wet and it lives indoors so rust hasn't been an issue. I used the reddish linseed oil only because I had some knocking around at the time.
'Slopers' like your New Hudson make great Path Racers , unless the paints original, I'd go for the raw look.
On the subject of my Humber project I've had a steady stream of PM's here and elsewhere
from people really interested in the bike and sharing ideas , I may have inadvertently started something....

@cino Wow - love what you did to the Humber! Very cool project and interesting thread.
I have some questions about the finish on the frame! I am just starting a new project (New Hudson - see pic) and was hoping you could share some of your expertise.
I am looking for linseed and was wondering if you used boiled or double boiled oil.
I have also noticed the linseed oil has a red colour - did you use the reddish oil or were you able to find a clear oil?
Last but not least - 2 years down the road, how did it endure the elements and do you still own and ride the Humber?
Thanks in advance,
Rogier
