Hello to all. I picked up a 1986 Schwinn Voyageur today. It's in fairly good shape. It is missing the original saddle and pedals. It has Columbus Tenax tubing and several rust spots to go along with it. I plan to sand the rust spots that are on the frame and lugs and touch up wit paint from AutoZone. The cable guides are a little rusty but I do not want to sand them. What can I use to stop the rust? Maybe I will use Rustoleum instead of the paint from AutoZone. What do you think? Please help.
I think in the future I will avoid Columbus Tubing. I have a very nice old Moser made with a type of Columbus tubing. The cable guides rusted so badly I just sanded them down almost flush with the tubing, The CroMo is much more durable. Does anyone know the purpose for Columbus tubing? Was it a less expensive alternative to the better CroMo?
Where is the serial number?
Thanks in advance to all,
Uni
