epicyclo
Senior Retro Guru
Spent half a day in the "sun" cleaning and polishing the frame.
It still doesn't look pretty, but I was following my own advice, which is the best way to find out if something is broken or about to break is to clean and polish it.
I didn't go overboard about it though. All I want is a decent layer of wax on it to prevent further corrosion while I build it up and ride it for a while.
Then if I don't like it better than the Pompino, I'll sell it in its original paint. If I keep it, it will get painted anything but the bilious Crystal Green that's on it.
Well, not just anything, probably Saltire Blue with white panels.
Tomorrow the massive inventory of the epicyclo warehouse will be raided for the reconstitution...
