My frame is in a worse shape than yours as far as rust and patina goes.
That is pretty inspiring, I want to get this bike on the road!

I have no pics, but I have decided to keep this bike a road bike and am in the process of cleaning the frame and just trying to preserve as much as I can.
Today I scrubbed the wheel's clean and shiny. Cleaned most of the gunk off the frame as well. If anyone has any tips on how to clean the frame without taking it apart it would be appreciated.
I am also very interested in the history of Gordonson Cycles. I have seen a few threads about the company but am eager to learn more. If anyone has any info that would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yeah. Campangolo rules. Just plain classy stuff and, to me anyway, far more exotic than Shinamo.EvilGenius wrote:...I'm not up with the history of bicycles... only Campangolo.

How's the project going?
I picked upa similar Gordonson a few months back:
I rebuilt as a single speed with riser bars, stronglight cranks and rebuilt 27" wheels.
Joy to ride and great fun building:
Have fun

The circus is obviously in town with the amount of clowns around here...
Nah, seriously martc101 - she's cleaned up well and looks a good little spinner. Congratulations on a neat project.
