(for finishing furniture it sure is Steel isn't as absorbent as wood so I don't know that multiple coats would help. Getting it on all the surfaces is the tricky part but I doubt the proprietary products aren't any better at that. A paint additive called "Penetrol" dries more quickly but is also hard to find. -- zk |

Something designed for this purpose...? http://www.framebuilding.com/Framesaver.htm Bottom of the page. Ceeway will ship abroad, but given this is a US product, you may find it cheaper to buy when you return home. Congrats on the bike. May you enjoy many happy hours of fold-unfold-fold-unfold. Perhaps you might even ride it at some point. ;-) LOL! Thanks Jon! My bike is sitting serenely in the middle of my basement flat, folded in half. I figured out what the odd, trapezoid bracket protruding on the bottom is: it's a stand for when it's folded!!! It stands up on it's own! 8D I'm dying to get out on it but it's going to rain today so I'm taking the car to find some Frame Saver... there are enough bike shops around, someone's gotta have it!!! TTYS! Chris Congrats on the bike, may you enjoy many hours of enjoyable riding and service from it. WD-40 might work as well. After it dries it leaves an oily residue. Also available in bulk instead of spray. |

It seems NOBODY within a 100 miles of home has "Frame Saver." I ended up getting the boiled linseed oil. Waxoyl (an ancient rust preventative for car bodywork and subframes) might be a little easier. I believe you can get it in an aerosol can these days. Nasty gloopy, smeary stuff though. Keep it inside the tubes. Regards, -david |
