Mongoose cali special build ( Edited title)
Bob_Acid:
Use oil and wire wool and a tooth brush. i did in those parts on my goose and it came up like new.
Juju:
I've used citric in the past.
It was ok, less special than I was hoping. So I've just scored a bag of oxalic off ebay. Just need to find a bath big enough to bathe my frames in.
Chemically oxalic should work well as it is attracted to the iron oxide of the frame, ie it actually attracts rust and chemically bonds rust to it.
southern andy:
These are the latest pictures using just vinegar.
Still needs a lot doing to it so maybe an oxy bath will do the trick.
Where do you get a pot big enough for a frame :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: ????
bobafett:
Surprised with the results there andy :( Thought all the rust would be well gone - I used tesco lemon juice for just 24 hours on a seat clamp that looked like it had been dipped in sh!t and ALL the rust was removed :-\
southern andy:
I think i need to scrub a bit harder John, it didn't help that i knocked the pot over the other morning on the way to work :LolLolLolLol: The gusset hasn't been worked on yet.
Will try again tonight on the easier bits to get to.
