It has become obvious to me that the "cleaning off" of whatever rust or corrosion inhibitor on the pipes of my bike was not done properly. It was likely attempted, as I can see rag marks, and some of the pipes are less discolored than others. However, the rest look like I have 5 years of surface corrosion and spotting. Personally, don't care. I may attempt to clean it, buti t may help perpetuate the "Restored vintage bike" myth.
