i think rbw says retreat every couple years anyway. So i dont think missing the
first two will matter much.
I heavily Boshielded my Bleriot and Rambouillet when I got them.

Although I've Framesavered or Boeshielded a frameset or two in my time, I'm
of a similar opinion. I just don't think it matters much. I have bikes from
the 60s, 70s, and 80s, not a one a garage queen, not a one frame saved, and
they will all likely be going fine when I'm gone. Rust never
Thanks for the clarification Garth! Sorry to all for spreading falsehoods
around these parts, having a can of each at home there's no excuse for my never
having done a side by side comparison, I'm just glad I've never resorted to
using Weigle's on my chain.

Weigle's, at least the can I bought long ago, is very different from
Boeshield. Weigle's dries very very sticky/tacky, so much so that on my
Bomba with a bead blasted seatpost became difficult to remove or even move
around. I had to use some thin lube that had mineral spirits in it to sort
of
And another potential wrench- I heard a rumor that Weigle's framesaver is
rebranded boeshield. Since boeshield leaves a nice layer of waxy goop in it's
wake I never questioned the rumor or it's effectiveness as a framesaver. That
said, I still opt for Weigle's when it's a available option.

Just to throw another wrench into this discussion, I've gotten two frames
from Riv. The first was a Sam in 2013. They told me at the time that the
tubes had been sprayed with Boeshield T-9, not Frame Saver (which is a
specific product, not a generic term). The second frame was a Frank Jones
Hi Rod,
Back in 2011 my wife and I took delivery of two complete Riv builds: Betty
Foy for her and AHH for me. Both builds were professionally assembled,
adjusted and tested. Not sure about the framesaver - probably not but in
reality unless one lives in a nasty climate the frames should

Hey, RustBOBS:
Others will likely chime in here to the contrary, but when I worked for
Richard Schwinn at Waterford, he told me he had NEVER seen a steel frame
rust from the inside out.
Lots of data points there, if nothing else.

I purchased a custom steel frame in 1978, built it up, tore it down and built
it back up numerous times since, still ride it and never frame saver’d it. The
bike has been commuted on and toured on rain and shine. It has lived in humid
climates and dry. I ask, has anyone ever seen a
More ice cream ! Yes ! !
Ice cream ..., the "new" frame/life saver "man cannot live on bread alone
there must be ice cream and lots of it !"

It does not say “assembled by us” but “When you buy an assembled bike from us,
we’ve already sprayed it.” An assembled bike is an assembled bike whether the
assembly was done in Taiwan or California. That said, I was always under the
impression that the completes were not sprayed.
A call to
Dave, that's my understanding. Taiwan completes are not "assembled by us/Riv",
so I don't think they're framesavered.

I've bought several frames from Riv but only one complete bike---a Sam from
their 2016 batch. From what I've read or been told, the Sam was assembled
in Taiwan, shipped to the US where Riv unpacked it, made sure everything
was put together correctly and tweaked what needed to be tweaked,
Thanks, all, for sharing your experience with this. Most all the fittings I
had occasion to expose were well-prepared (grease, anti-seize, loctite, or
light oil). There were one or two exceptions, but they were easy to
recognize and deal with, and tended to be trivial anyway (e.g., fender
They don't frame save their complete bikes or their frames, but I believe
everything is looked over and tuned by the good folks at Rivendell.
