Hi all,
I'm currently working with a Raleigh 531 frame however it has quite a lot of rust spots. Nothing severe, all just surface rust where cables have rubbed and where there have been a few scratches. I'm not too concerned with it, but I mainly just wanted to make sure none of it gets any worse.
Other than a complete strip and new paint job is there any way to prevent the rust spots worsening?
I can't afford a repaint and the frames probably not worth spending loads of money on either.
Ideally, I dont want to go too invasive as on the whole the paint is still decent and it's a nice looking bike.
any tips would be great, thanks!
