@Chris.
Nearly got all the parts for my new build, but before I put it all together I wanted to ask about what to do with the frame.
It is a Black Market Mob, made of True Temper Supertherm steel. The previous owner stripped the paint off so now I'm left with the bare metal. I want to leave it raw, but if I do will it rust? Will I need to constantly apply linseed oil or some other framesaver stuff? I hear if you clearcoat then the clearcoat can get chipped, which I wouldn't want. Should I just forget having it raw and get it painted to protect it?
Any help appreciated.
