My touring bike is about 15 years old now. There are a few places with very minor bubbling below the surface, but one place where there is more rust - the chainstay bridge where the mudguard mounts. I guess this is an area where water gets in under the mudguard clip.
A few pics (linked to biggies):
I'm thinking of getting the frame powder coated. I'm assuming this rust isn't so bad that it won't get taken care of when they blast it? Or is it? I'm sure the more minor stuff will be no problem, it's just the above that I'm a bit worried about.
I did spray (thinned) Waxoil inside the frame when I got it, so I'm hoping all is good internally. If it isn't - how on Earth can you tell anyway?!
Any thoughts much appreciated.
