Well today I decided to give the old girl a bath and see if anything could come clean. The rims were especially bad. Soap and water did not even put a dent in the rims. So far steel wool and a huge amount of elbow grease is my only friend there. The extensive paint chipping will be left until the frame can be sandblasted and
powder coated. The grease on the front forks was a real tough one. Soap and water: No. Scrub brush: I wish! Looks like it is going to be rags and thinner. I started to break down the frame for painting. Here is what I have left now.
Not surprising is the moss growing in some parts. It looks like it was just starting to get a foothold.
