I'm really taking my time with this.... but still going.... today I started on the knackered and badly re-touched bits of paint.
These dremel bits that are like like scouring pads have been ace
lots to sort here
found scraping the dust off with a needle file was the best approach (i'm not filing the tubes)
There's been loads of flakey paint and surface rust to clean off, but mostly it's cleaning up nice. The bottom brackets pretty pitted, I think (and hope) it's still sound though. Wondering if i should treat the bottom bracket area with some rust remover.... never used that before though... I fear it might take off more than just the rust? Any one got any advice on stuff like , they seem confident it can be used on bikes.....
