  • Nice project! Love a good rat. Re rust proofing - yes, linseed oil inside the frame will work. Bit messy and cures into a quite hard gunk in 1-2 weeks. Make sure you protect the BB threads with some grease. And rags soaked in the stuff can auto combust sometimes so soak in water. Fwiw I've used it to stop rust on lots of stuff including cars and it works great.

  • Hi russ, thanks very much bud, I feel like I'm going to fall in love with this one! Do you have any recommendations other than linseed oil to avoid the gunk? Cheers

  • The gunkiness is kind of the whole point. Just don't leave a pool of it in the bb shell for two weeks is all. My post makes it sound worse to use than it actually is ;)
