Very cool. Very unique. I love all the little 'speed holes' on the drivetrain. I would love to have found this at a garage sale. Good find!

Cool bag. Would you mind showing us how you have the it attached? Is there anything supporting the bottom, or keeping it from swinging into the spokes? I like this idea of alternative (and affordable) pannier bags. I'm going to have to search out some more examples now. Thanks!

Never saw one before. Looks great.

Nice! What kind of bag is that?

Very cool. Good find. Setup looks a lot like the traveler I just posted. Ride's nice, doesn't it?

Yeah, It's an odd one. Right smack between mint and lime. I had never seen it before either.

Picked up a 1972 World Traveler on the cheap. Tore it down, cleaned it up, repacked hubs and replaced all cables. Then added some new tires, vintage fenders, rack and northroad bars. Shifts and rides great. Finished it just in time to tow my kiddo in a trailer downtown for some fireworks. Super...

I like cheap. Cheap is good. I just got a free tin of carnuba wax. xlnt.

Cool. Thanks all.

Yeah, sounds interesting for some parts. But say for example, you get some light rust off your rims with WD40 and steel wool. How do you keep that from coming back? Wouldn't want to krylon your chrome, would you?

Not the painted parts. But all the little bits. The nuts, bolts, and some chrome bits. Crowns, cups, fork nut thingers. Stuffs like that. What is this metal prep stuff?

So I came across this Evapo-Rust stuff in the local hardware store and I'm pretty impressed so far. My question is though... Once the rust is gone, how do you guys prevent it from coming back? Evapo-rust seems great at removing the rust, but only claims to prevent it for two weeks. Thoughts?

Yeah, I think I'm going with a new wheelset for exactly those reasons. Thanks.

I won't waste m time on them then. Thanks!

Sweet. Thanks all. Now I've got options.
