Okay, so with the mistake of myself and my roommate my bike got left outside after the hurricane for a week, and you gotta love the salt air, after just a week outside my bike is so rusted that I can't ride it.

How would y'all suggest the removal of rust from this bike? Wire brush? Steel Wool?

Serious answers only please...I have a match tonight.

acid

Go to Walmart and buy a kiddie pool and a lot of WD40. Fill pool with WD40 and submerge bike. Let it soak for 35-45 mins. Pull it out. Climb into pool and soak for 25 mins. You will now be able to ride the bike.

^See I thought I would try that, but I wasn't sure if it would work...but now that someone else had the same idea as me I think it's the best plan....

"acid"

Ha, I actually came in to post this.

Spray it with phosphoric until rust dissolves, then be sure to wash the acid off of the metal. I'd keep it away from any non rusted parts as well.

what if I took the chain off and soaked it in some CLR?

sand blaster

^^That might work, either way a chemical soak might get pretty expensive.

A sandblaster might be your best bet.

Is this a good bike or a Wal-Mart bike?

Straight up wal mart bike....just something that I can ride around on the island....but no worries...I fixed that shit...all it needed was some lube to get the wheels going again...luckly they weren't too bad...I just took a wirebrush to get the majority of the rust off and lubed it up and it's good to go...now I can bike it to the bars.
