Re:

Keeping paint and treating surface with a rust converter which will give it a red/black finish .

T cut first.
treat with converter to oxidize rusted areas .
treat inside with frame saver .
wax outside.
replace 531 decal and bands.

I reckon it should look wicked

First I have to remove a stuck seat post and handle bar stem. :evil:
pedals came off ok followed by cranks and bb.

I have a nagging suspission (!Spelling! My brain's turned to mush!) that it is my old one. Perhaps the guy who bought it also had problems with size 10 feet! I know I did.

Any interest in a tidy dusty Wes Mason frame? 59cm. I've been sitting on it for years with thoughts to building it up but never quite got round to it. Sadly never had the original forks. Its buried at the back of a shed (dry) so web pics.

Same as this MKM but in with 'Mason' on the stays. 27.2mm seatpost!

Another more accurate web pic
