This thread goes to show that rust can look ok.

I'm beginning to get tired of steel wooling these rusty bikes I have here...

My newest build, The Rust-DX. It is a mix of naturally rusted parts, force rusted parts, and faux rusted powder coating.

Good photos Cameron.

Here's another one of mine

 

[pick]

Here are a few of mine. First one was posted before & is now finished. Grips & chain have been installed. One of my favorite riders! I did steal the seat off of it for the Bad Apple RRBO6 build though! Gotta find another crusty one.

& a future project.

& last but not least, one I found out at the landfill several months ago! It was in rideable condition, before they used the machine with the big jaws to throw it on to the scrap metal pile! Nice mirror huh?

My Firestone Pilot definitely captures the beauty of a rusty bike, if that's your thing. My intitial plan was to to try to restore this bike, but I just couldn't make myself change it. It has a look unlike any one I've ever seen. You can see where the black and white paint was, and in a few spots you can even still see the red pinstripe that separated the two.
