What's the name of the band?

I'll be riding on the Elroy-Sparta trail this summer. The EST is the original Rail Trail and was built in the mid 60's Has three tunnels, the longest being 3/4 of a mile.

I've used the 3n1 with steel wool before and it did well on the light rust but fell short on some of the heavier portions.

Too late.... :lol:

So like 00 or is that too course. Also, how thick should I layer this stuff on?

Good to know. Will give it a shot when I start the front wheel tomorrow. Thanks for tip.

It won't dry out?

Solved my own problem. Applied it with a toothbrush and scrubbed real well, then rubbed with 0000 steel wool. only took a few minutes to get a set of handlebars all nice and shiney. Now to finish em off with some wadding cloth.

I see a lot of guys recommending naval jelly here so I gave it a try. I brushed it on a washed it off 15 minutes later like the directions on the jar but it I got no results. How do you folks use it?

did you see this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/1965-Huffy-Built-Ba ... 51970d45a6 i'm not into the muscle bikes, so i may be way off. if it was mine, i'd put it on cl for $125, and hope it brought between 80-125. hope that offers any help. good luck. Looks like got a decent deal. I'll probably...

Any idea on value? (perceived or actual) :mrgreen:

From what I can find most of the Belknap bikes were built by Huffy. The chrome points on the rails also match up to other Huffys.

Found a set on amazon for $3. Will get some lined housing. I'm clever but for $3 I'll save what few brain cells I have left. :mrgreen:

Good to know. Any pics you know of re: installation?

On both sides?
