Not looking forward to this.
Sometime in the next few weeks I'm going to have to:
1) struggle to get my heavy as fuck dutch bike up my narrow steep stairs.
2) Stop the rattling
3) Replace the chain (it's coaster brake only, I'd just wait till it snaps otherwise)
4) Remove the stand (I never use it)
5) Maybe fit one of those plastic crates at the front
6) Do something about all the rust.
7) Put it all back together (this I'm dreading)
8) Get it back down the stairs
Any experience here in maintaining this type of bike?
Any tips for treating surface rust? I was thinking a sand down with wet&dry and re-patching the bare bits. (I don't care what it looks like)
