Hi all,
I have a Burley Fox Hollow road frame. This frame is a chromoly one (True Temper OX Platinum) and I love it so much.
The outer paint job is very good to prevent the rust/corrosion, but I'm worrying about the internal of the frame tubing and possible paint abrasion.
Is there any good spray to prevent rust/corrosion for the chromoly frame?
Thanks in advance.

Boeshield T-9 works well, too. Smart move to look into preserving the insiode of your frame, BTW.

Thanks all.
I just found a rust inhibitor (LPS 3) at Ace Hardware web site below. Can it be used for the rust protection for a chromoly frame?

Well, the "protects for up to two years" doesn't inspire confidence. It probably works for longer inside a frame though.
Also, it's worth mentioning that Weigel's frame saver (with is worth buying if you've never rustproofed a frame before, because it comes with detailed instructions on how to rustproof a bike) is the same stuff as Amsoil's Heavy Duty Metal Protector (HDMP) which is available at some hardware or auto-parts stores.
Finally, it's good that your frame is Hollow. Those solid-tubed steel frames can be rather heavy

Send me your addy via PM, I'm local so it would get to you muck quicker.
