How rusty is too rusty?
HI,
I picked up an old frame from the dump that had a few pointers that it was decent (nervex lugs, wheelcraft {famous local wheel builder here in scotland** decals and wheels). It could be a mid 90's Mike Kowal frame but it has some rust issues.
I have removed most of the paint (not original and an ugly fushia pink colour) and 85% of the steel is OK, but the rear triangle is pretty bad. The paint had bubbled in places and the enamel type coating has come off in places. As far as I can see there are no holes, but I need to know if it is worth continuing or just giving up.
My plan is:
clean and sand the frame
Rust eater
primer x2
spray paint x2
Build up as single speed.
Continue or not?
