Three band on clips top of top tube?

ftfy

thanks G you mighta just saved my future wife's life, I've you ever want someone done or something you let me know homie

sorry man obviously we shoud take about that privately later but come oncomecome on bruh I know you know the answers to my other confusions.

What low-labour (possibly spray based) technique should I employ to slightly de-rust and preventively un-re-rust that^^^^^^ slightly rusty bob frame?

I know you know the answers to my other confusions.

I actually don't. I have a few steel bikes which never get wet, and one which is permanently covered in sweat so it's got more rust than the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly. I've heard good things about Boeshield T9

wel there's my illusion of an aerosuited shaman with a welding mask and a pair of callipers blown off in a poof of smoke

blown off in a poof

Don't tell everybody!

I see, I see, these are the same bawdy interjections Mayor Boris makes to distract from the real issue. You support as well I suppose his policies of keeping knowledge for the privileged few?

What is going on here?

That's the exact post I have. Seat fits fine tbh, was just sceptical at first.

Really like those frames. Doesn't look that bad imo.

@clipon No worries man! looks like it's gonna be a lovely build. Can ask some mechanics at work about the rust if you want. My best guess is wire wool, some kind of displacer and elbow grease.

BLB do some alright looking silver crosstops 22 for the pair. I just try to avoid giving them my money.

Bilt Hamber Deox gel = environmental friendly not aggro derust. If you've a bath tub big enough you can put the whole thing in.

Boeshield sounds good for keeping it out :)

I came across this cockpit on eBay and couldn't help myself...

Cardiff velodrome?

Yeah, the Flyers were doing hot laps behind a motorbike. It was a good watch

Cardiff has a velodrome?!

Is there a part of your headset missing ?

Well spotted.

What is it?

Some nutjob has cut down a near mint condition pair of Cinelli pista bars and turned them upside down for bullhorns!

New member of the family:

Will get cracking on the build at the weekend.

I am excite!

Nice! is that the one that was on retrobike? I was eyeing up what looks like the same frame not long ago, sadly a shade too small for me.
