Vintage Humber Path Racer Build

I'm happy to see a humber project on here. I just finished restoring a humber sport, I was very tempted flip the north roads and make it a bit more of a sporty bike, but didn't in the end. It is interesting to see with your build what sort of thing would have happened if I had done this. I will take a picture and post it on here if you like.

Linseed oil sounds awesome. I have never tried it but have heard good things, there are two sorts, one boiled and one not... cant remember what sort is best. Anyway what I can vouch for is this: Simoniz SIM0010A 150g Simoniz Original Carnauba Wax: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike

I put 2 coats on my bikes slightly rusty patina and it repels water nicely.

beware of linseed brother, works but brings hazards, lots of hand washing and linny rags will BURN by themselves, Simoniz is good from new tin but really just turns dirty, old type turtle wax (paste stuff) always served me well but now hard to find. and this bike will be crap to ride. follow your dream.
