Would there be any trouble in the long term just stripping the paint and leaving it to rust? Being of a steampunk persuasion, I like the rusty look, and I'd kinda like my bike to look rubbish but work well to reduce its nickability at uni. Would the rust weaken the frame / rub off on clothes if left to its own devices? (PS - all bits that need to be kept rustproof for mechanical reasons would probably be hammerited)
