I'm just bitter because I want some Wound Ups as well. 😫

No, sahry.

Woundup will be making a return to the hue in summer with new bar and stem setup.

Hey so me & my bike are back together thanks to a lot of individuals the people at 7 Corners Cycles,Damien, Chicken, & Amanda & Lara from Chrome bag’s. As well Joe Prettyman’s little brother found most of my Klein at a Bunny encampment. Thanks for the press. Going to go ride the hell out of her & never take her for granted. Love you guy’s..

A very happy ending, obviously loves that bike to bits

Looks clean from here.
Very functional tho

My Donohue's getting pretty fucked up on the seat tube from constant locking and unlocking. Any tips to remove the rust and protect the area? Sandpaper and some sort of spray lacqeur?

You can apply some Rustol on it. Will prevent the rust from spreading further then you can spray some clear laquer to keep it rats ;)

I've used Jenolite before and seems to work ok, if a little rough looking. Then just spray it with clear Plastikote spray or a waterproof lacquer to protect it when locking

Having said that doesn't look like anything more than surface rust though so why not just sand it or fine wirewool it then clean it up and lacquer it..?

Was thinking just clean it up and lacquer it! A repaint might be on the cards at some point but not any time soon. Here's the full bike anyway, the build's nothing special but it fits me well and I love riding it.

Can't see your pic.

Very nice !!

Unlikely, since it's an embedded picture instead of attached to the post. I think you used the wrong link. Use the actual image location next time (simply add '.jpg' to the end of the url, so https://imgur.com/jBwgkLD.jpg instead of https://imgur.com/jBwgkLD).

Sweet Donohue!

If you're going to continue locking in the same way, any 'proper' remedy will deteriorate in the same way.

Kurust would probably be cheaper than Rustol - dries blue/black/purple in half an hour or so, water based so easy to clean brushes etc. Probably not as effective as Rustol Owatrol but dead easy to daub a bit more on when new chips appear?

De-rust, lacquer, tape over?

how those chains make sense as to go lock?
I guess it's just there at the location...

With Heldring for the Donohue.

Wire wool, treat surface and for rat look wrap tube with old inner tube.

Or instead of inner tube use a bit of clear 3m Heli tape, best of both worlds, you can watch the rust and see if it gets worse while the tubes protected by the Heli tape.
