    Does anyone have experience cleaning rust from the fenders and frame? Would I use a Oxalic acid bath? What mixture should I use and for how long should I soak the parts? Or are there better ways to preserve this bike?

    I have been searching the web for "how to" remove surface rust and still preserve the patina. Looks like soaking the frame and fenders in Oxalic Acid would do the trick. Then wash in a baking soda solution to neutralize the acid and coat with linseed oil. Any advice on preservation methods?

    The kickstand looks newer with no rust. The chainring has extra holes, not like newer ones.

    Both have been resprayed white along with the nipples and about 1" of the spokes. "Cheng Shin" tires, Union made Schwinn Approved headlight, taillight and dynamo and newer Schwinn Hand grips. My brother said he rode it and it was "very smooth".

    Added the suggested crossbar. Moved the seat post further to the rear. Changed the angle of the "seat" stay and I think I figured out the bottom bracket. If I get this finished by the deadline it'll be a miracle! Now to figure out the headlight, seatpost, chain guard, fenders...... the list goes...
