When it's warm enough or I'm feeling hardy enough, I'll try all those things in the garage. I don't want to start in with PB blaster in my office. Evaporust is magic, though lots of the finish is probably permanently ruined. It would be a shame to turn this into a parts bike, but I'm not going to be surprised if that's where it ends up.
