Hi fellas
greetings from Australia!
I've just purchased a Yo Eddy (in the post!) and it had a stuck seatpost.
The seatpost has been removed, and it looks like the rust isn't too bad inside.
I'm thinking of cleaning up the inside of the frame, and giving it a hit with Frame Saver, but not sure of the best way to clean out the rust?
I've read some info about giving it an oxalic acid bath on bike forums, and my motorcycle repairer mate has suggested filling it up with 'rust converter' for a few hours and then emptying it out. This apparently doesn't harm the steel.
Any other ideas from you guys?
cheers
oops this should probably be in the builders corner! can a moderator move it?
