I will not take it back to the Junk Yard, I promise. That is the point of this thread. I want to SAVE this frame from it's obvious recent mistreatment in the hands of the unappreciative. I care! This bike was about as close as you can get to being run-over by a bulldozer. I do not have pictures of the rust, but as bad as it is, I know I can remove it with OA. I just haven't had any experience removing and repainting a bike. I'm just trying to get an idea of the best way to go.
