Commencing de-rusting procedures

All of the rusty steel bits are now submerged in the last 3/4 gallon of Evapo-Rust I started using in 2017 when my entry was the '72 Liberia. Consider this a test of how many times ER can be re-used! All of the inner headset surfaces are excellent, but the exteriors are ghastly - I'll have a better sense of their serviceability when I check later tonight.

I DO hope that the front derailleur cage is something other than solid rust red when I am done, and perhaps the steel small chainring.
