eliu01: Nice Frances! Thanks for sharing
Robert: Thanks for the added info, got it concerning the frame being out
west. I'm in Virginia! The humidity will have fun with raw steel.

My pleasure Eric!
It is completely raw, but living in the American West, the patina has
matured slowly. It has been on the back of the car next to the ocean, in
the rain multiple times, I spent a few months with family in humid
Virginia, and I can't even tell you how many creek crossings. The
Thanks, Robert! Is this totally raw or is it raw with a clear coat and the
patina is under the clear? I ask because I'd figure a raw steel frame would
weather more quickly that the time frame you mention. I am prepared to be
wrong about this assumption!

Eric,
While it's not the style of bike that I would normally post on this forum,
you may enjoy the pictures in this album of my Waltworks mountain bike.
I've left it raw through two seasons of riding and I think it is
interesting to look back on how the finish has changed. I'm thinking about
Yes, Patch! Thanks! Very very kind of you to dig these up. Great examples.
Thanks for the notes on finishing, rusting, etc. Much appreciated!

David,
Your Bombadil looks just right in its unpainted state. The downtube lug is
a work of art - and how it flows along the tube. The head badge isn't too
shabby either. One of my earliest Rivendell encounters was seeing a closeup
of unpainted said lugwork. It made consider buying a Bombadil
In the realm of adult cinema, I believe they would call that the money shot
(though I will, of course, defer to those who have actually seen such a
thing).

Thanks, Steven, that laser cutting trick is another level.

Thanks to you all for sharing.
Eric: Do you have any color pics that show the corrosion, surface rust and
patina?
Patch: Your experience sounds helpful! I'd love to see some pictures when
you have a chance. Did you ever find a way to maintain some corrosion and
patina? Like letting it
I'll have to dig out photos later, but I've done this a couple times - with
and without clearcoat. I prefer the results without clearcoat. But if you
don't wipe down your bike frequently, the rust that collects rubs off on
your clothes easily. Something to be aware of.
