I don't know how you always look so stylish even when cleaning!<br /><br />If you are trying to get rid of rust on the chromed areas (handlebar etc) I've found that using some metal polish and wire wool then wiping it down with a cloth can take it straight off if it is surface rust.<br /><br />I have just started a project to do up a bicycle and started a blog to record it, but it requires rather more work than a clean up sadly! Lots of replacing of parts/ repainting... But to be able to ride a pretty bicycle I am sure it will be worth it.<br /><br />http://themustardlion.blogspot.co.uk/Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696918031006310351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727879929849914482.post-54065370145293038522013-07-26T14:21:45.512-05:002013-07-26T14:21:45.512-05:00You should name the bike Winny!

I have an old Schwinn that I got when I was about 6. It was my very first bike and the only one I ever had growing up. It is in need of a major overhaul. I will one day do this. I believe it is possible from the mid 50's. I love it.Sheila June Densonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288993404827520088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727879929849914482.post-81439468892019981342013-07-22T12:50:26.483-05:002013-07-22T12:50:26.483-05:00It looks great!

My husband and I have matching 1974, Flamboyant Lime, Schwinn Suburbans that we happened across at different times, but they're a perfect pair. One was really shabby when we bought it, but with lots of love it looks fabulous now.
