Hi,
I have almost finished putting together my 1950s Beasley track frame and am wondering how to protect the patina which has developed.
It has some surface rust where the paint has come off, but generally is really nice. I essentially want to protect it and stop it changing much more. It is not really rust proofing (as per other threads) but rather... rust caring...
I dont want to put a clear coat on, as this will make it shiny and 'freeze' its development. I am thinking a wax would be best.
Any suggestions would be great.
Bike is here
Thanks, Tim
