mattriz  can you post a pic so i can have a look :)

slightly confused as to the rust,  is it surface rust or has it broke through

the chrome or paint :daumenhoch:

munners:
Easy peesey!

Buy a builders plastering bath - about £20.

There is a link on here somewhere where you can buy Oxalic acid in crystal form. It comes in a tub of about 1kg if i remember. Fill the bath with water and then put the crystyals in. Give it a stir and then sink the f+f. Leave for 2 days and presto.

Give it a clean with hot sopay water and then a light polish with Autosolvo and it comes out like new.

No good for bad pitting though.

make sure you protect the frame after Oxalic acid treat meant tho - it needs to be protected inside and out or it will accelerate the rusting process  :daumenhoch:

you know what i was going to post something regards the future rusting on the frame due to being submerged in water and acid?  surely a steel frame (let alone a 20 year old one) shouldn't really be submerged in water as you're never going to dry out the inside properly? therefore rust from the inside out!  :-\
