Thank you! You definitely should if you've got some of the know-how or guidance.

I would guess that epoxy clear would work for preserving the metal after careful prep.
It would likely yellow in time, but many would just see that as patina.
I never did paint it... The bike was superceded by this build:
C&V inspired custom lightweight 650b
I thought about clear but it's rusted up by this point and not necessarily in a uniform, attractive way. I'll strip it and take it to the local powder coater when I have enough time.
