I was waffling a bit on what to do about the paint job. It's chipped and showing rust in some places, but is still pretty in others. My inclination was to preserve as much of it as possible and what I really didn't want to have to do is anything that required touching the cottered cranks and setting up any kind of spraying situation. After some poking around online I found a bunch of folks who use boiled linseed oil in these kind of situations. Which is perfect because linseed oil I know how to deal with from violin making! Basically the bike is getting the same treatment that a violin neck gets. I just wiped on the first coat and am feeling pretty good about this.
