    Saving a Mercian frame - advice needed

    Hi all I'm looking into trying to save an 80s mercian frame which has a fair bit of surface rust. I was thinking of getting it painted but is there a way to preserve it as it is now with rust and all without it getting worse? It's only original once after all! Thanks

    I was having a clearout at work and came across somewhat of a graveyard of good intentions! I picked up these 2 frames a while ago, with a view to building them up, but at the moment they're just not going to get the attention they deserve. Instead, I'd much rather they went somewhere to be...
