In my previous post, I shared the tip from GCN to remove rust from a bicycle. I was a bit skeptical.
Before
After
Even gave the chrome some vinegary love.
Cleaned up the bits of rust the best I could and put some clear coat on them. I then decided to clean up the seat post. Took some work getting it out. When I did, I learned that there’s a bit of a difference between seat posts of yore and those from this age. Perhaps it has to do with the more MTB-like geometry of road frames vs the taller frames from back then.
You call that a seat post?
Oh, and that’s where the wasps built their nest.
