Thank you for the replies and information. I will take a look at the Musselman hub tomorrow, though it is pretty rusty.
This is my first real old bike and a rusty one at that. I would like to bring back as much of the remaining paint as possible , and was thinking of doing my first time, Oxalic acid bath, but because of the red paint, I have read not to do it, as the remaining paint will turn pink. My other options were Evaporust , CLR or vinegar. I contacted both Evaporust and CLR and they stated not to use their products on painted surfaces , especially red paint. I have successfully used straight vinegar on rusty chrome, but never on a painted surface. I realize the bike is pretty far gone, but I'd like to clean it up a bit. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you
