Still learning
Passed this on the ride home from work yesterday. St. Petersburg FL is one of the only US cities to deliver mail by bike. Looks like they're updating the fleet.

Mackinac Island, Michigan - Both UPS and USPS use 1 or 2 hp delivery vehicles. Fedex uses a bike.

^Less than $10 at Walmart. This one is only for bike parts/frames, btw. I bought a second pool for my daughter. Can deflate for storage & re-use later.

So tell us (which is to say, me) again, what concentration and for how long should one soak steel or aluminum?

Oh, I'm not very precise. I use about a tablespoon per gallon and leave it in there a day or two depending on how bad the rust is. This pool used most of a pint-sized container. I often keep a separate, smaller solution on the workbench for nuts, bolts, and other small bits.
Don't soak aluminum in oxalic acid.

Wonderful thread.
This was from a nightride several nights ago.
This old girl was my mom's, and sat unused for many many years. She needs fixing on the coaster brake but I will make a neighborhood cruiser out of her.
Getting her out of the basement. Poor old girl.
Tough loading into my vehicle
current ride. I raised the seat about 3 inches from this.

Fiorelli built Coppi. Not sure what year or model. Z50 tubing, whatever that is. Will be my first vintage resto project, to learn on. Wish me luck.

I left work late tonight and got treated to a massive 1 mile high, 20 mile wide, 45mph dust storm hitting Phoenix. The wall of dust moved on top of the highway pretty quickly.
