I carried them for a while off a bike rack on the back of the car but I didn't like how much they bounced around. I have a bike bag I used for about a year or so, but it didn't offer much protection against the rust. So I take them apart and put them in the car now.Roadrunner Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720107862190088369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154341542671654923.post-27311680065418020982012-12-06T20:38:35.007-06:002012-12-06T20:38:35.007-06:00Thanks Jo.

I had hoped to finish the bike by now, but have been delayed. I might slather a little bit of vaseline over it as well.

Generally a light film of oil helps keep things from rusting but it also attracts dirt. Chrome is susceptible to corrosion and there's not a lot you can do about it.Tesajehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15965295812302989459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154341542671654923.post-74693592998876191612012-12-03T20:02:44.507-06:002012-12-03T20:02:44.507-06:00WOW!

Someone at an RV park was asking questions about it and I asked them if they wanted to buy it and they did, rust and all.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019364333876469130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154341542671654923.post-62103836355986242682012-12-03T18:12:44.723-06:002012-12-03T18:12:44.723-06:00It's a noble thing to look after your bike.
