started with a £5 bike, in total the build cost £20 inclusive of buying the bike
rides quite nice

the idea is to let is rust out over time to get it really grotty looking.

i think that this is the first ever time i have WANTED rust to happen, ill take it to the beach in the summer to get the salty water on it, it speeds up the process on the other bikes i have ridden on it.

Use some chemical paint remover and remove the paint!
To speed up the proces!
You dont want to wait 70 years for it haha
