Postive Patina? Preserving The Rust On An Old Bicycle

The 1985 Saracen Conquest is a very rusty bike. Not so much structural... but it's covered in the stuff. I've seen ‪@toastyrides‬ use Kurust and keep the patina in a few of his builds so I thought I'd take it to the extreme here. Is it too much though??

I agree it is a little to far gone. I would take it to Bourne's powder coaters Digbeth, Birmingham or at least have it blasted back to bare metal for respray. Appreciate there is a cost but a steel frame deserves it and will last another 30 years. Good experiment though 👍

I think it looks spot on👍

1600 on a sunny day?! Major photo faux pas! Seriously though, your photography is always good, one of the things I love about the channel:)

@mikebellamy8263 Год назад

Love it! It’s not for everyone but the klunker, ratrod, and bomber bike people dig that look!

@geoffpoole483 2 года назад

The Saracen Conquest was the bike of choice for Nick and Richard Crane when they rode up Mt Kilimanjaro. They might have changed the gear ratios.

@BikeItUK 2 года назад

Clean up see how things are but Ive got to agree with many others it's gone past touching up. look forward to the build, nice one

@stevecrump1375 2 года назад

Thanks again for anouther great video 👍

@henryporter5466 2 года назад

One thing's for sure, man. You'll never get it nicked.

@benc8386 2 года назад

Great video! Have ever tried Owatrol? It sets to a kind of clear-coat like finish and is supposed to prevent any further rusting. You can use it on bare metal or rust (or mix it with paint weirdly).

Nice frame. Nice work!

Thanks!

I do like a bit of patina, but I also think this one is too far gone. And, as it is a 531 frame, it's worth having it blasted and painted up and ridden. It looks about Adam's size, too - pity the postage to NZ would be a killer - it would be interesting to see what he does with it! I'm sure there will be a better candidate for this treatment soon, however, and I look forward to seeing that too. :)

I never heard of that frame before not to common hear in Alaska. Very nice video I enjoyed it.thank you.

@bena9713 2 года назад

wow I wish I had known that about the BLO! I literally painted it on with a paintbrush and it took days to dry! I did like 3 coats in some places 5 on a sandblasted stumpjumper

@frankdevaney5156 2 года назад

Good effort, and good bit of experimenting. Got an old Raleigh Twenty that might just get a similar patina revival, when I eventually get round to it :)

@jasonbannan4024 Год назад

I think it looks good!

Thanks 👌

@redwallace7934 2 года назад

I'm not familiar with that brand of frame,,,,maybe you could include some back stories on some of the models for a fan in the U.S.A.

@geoffpoole483 2 года назад

Saracen was a British brand. I think the frames are now made in the Far East. The Conquest was one of the early mountain bikes. Two brothers/cousins, called Nick and Richard Crane rode Saracen Conquests up Mt Kilimanjaro. A shame this frame is in such a state because the Conquest has a proud heritage.

@duringthemeanwhilst 2 года назад

I rather quite like the look of that but agree, such a classic frame deserves better :-)

@bradflockhart8387 Месяц назад

Is that rust converter you paint on?

@jp93309 2 года назад

What is that rust treatment called that you brushed on? I have surface rust on a diamondback frame that has a black and blue swirl paint scheme so I’m looking for rust treatment that will turn black and blend well with the paint job. I plan to clear coat or plain wax afterward.

@armaturesmusic 2 года назад

I was looking to do something similar with an old Falcon 1980s frame. I was going to give it a light clear-cout instead of linseed. Would that be sufficient?

@MonkeyShred 2 года назад

Sure. Anything to protect it.

@stephenstevens6573 2 года назад

Afraid that frame is too far gone. Its a shame, but no sense wasting good parts on something that looks like thst. It was s great idea, but...full resto needed. The rat rod idea is fantastic...just keep your eye out for a better candidate! Enjoyed the content anyway!

@raylaux8295 2 года назад

Frame it trashed. That rust is deep into the steel.

@neilhamilton2621 Год назад

Wd40 and wire wool

@JohnPilling25 2 года назад

Good try. That 531 frame, imho, should be blasted back to metal and powder coated.

@Abandon7d 2 года назад

may be a lot of work for a little difference/ in a case like this try use what I call the "one treatment only strategy" which in this case could be just the good old oily-rag-treatment :-) / worth a try on a similar patient

@GreenJimll 2 года назад

That seems to be an awful lot of work to just end up with preserved rust!

@arend3669 2 года назад

Its awesome!! Keep as is :) i prefer this over brand new, this has personality!!

@waltbellamy9739 2 года назад

looks good!!! if you want, rag on some black paint and about three coats of linseed oil ??? :

@bigc7t 2 года назад

Take it down to raw metal and polish it up then clear coat...or you could use gun blue then clear coat

@露-p8o 10 месяцев назад

Sand blasting is better for heavy rust😊

@MonkeyShred 9 месяцев назад

That would remove all the original paint though - and that wasn't the objective here

@MC57315 2 года назад

That's just a little too much patina, I would redo the frame altogether.

@DIY-DaddyO 2 года назад

It’s not rust, is battle scars

@jamesporter5630 Год назад

Win some, lose some. Like you, I’d say this was a loss.

@Herbybandit 2 года назад

Lol! Spray a bunch of shit in there! 😂💩 I like to do a preservation rather than restoration but there is a point you have to say stop! By the time you've put the patina right you might as well give it a custom paint job.
