So I stripped the frame and went for a phosphate treatment and Matt lacquer. The phosphate will act as a barrier to rust but also discolour with age, a better option to Lacquering straight over raw steel. I've added a close up to show how the discolouring is already happening. Kept most of doms finishing kit, changed the saddle and crankset putting the camo AArn I managed to get my hands on. Stoked :)
