RUST

[61JCHiggins]

Hey Guys,

I have a 61 JC Higgins Flightliner thats 95% original if not more. It has the original finish with surface rust here and there. I want to preserve the weathered finish but would like to stop the rust if possible. I have oiled the frame, Handle bar and forks but i would like a permanent solution. Any ideas?

I use liquid wrench penetrating oil. WD-40 dries after a few hours. I guess these old bike are like old guns. You have to keep them clean and oiled to preserve them LOL

Thanks for your input friend. Anything helps

Petroleum based oils will evaporate fairly quick. Sporting goods stores sell an animal grease used to protect the bore on black powder rifles. It's called Bore Butter. Used for long term storage of fire arms. A thin coat last a very long time.
