I recently aquired an old bike (really old) that has been sitting around for some time and has rust on the frame, chrome parts, handle bars, cranks, rims etc. but most of the lettering is in good condition.
What I'd like to know is how to go about cleaning the frame without destroying the paint. I'd like to do as little as possible since I like the original look of it but I want to prevent it from further deteriorating.
Also, the rims and handlebars have the most rust. Is there a way to clean those up that will not harm them?
