Hey guys, so thanks to notworthy1, I am the proud new father of a Nishiki International that I will soon pass on to my brother in its Shimano 600-clad glory.

Now, I have a question. Being the paranoid kid that I am, I looked into the headtube to see what the inside of TT looked like. Small bit of surface rust. Completely acceptable, and I'm not worried about it, but I would like to "save the frame" from my brother's inevitable leaving the bike out in the moist atmosphere of Puget Sound. My question is really, can I put frame saver over surface rust? If I can't it's not worth it to me to give the thing an oxalic acid bath, as I know deep down nothing is really going to happen structurally. I just haven't gotten my C&V tinkering fix this month, and February is over in a week.
