I have been prepping many old bikes for resale lately on the cape (salt air) and my recommendation so far is 120 grit sandpaper from palm sanders. I think the palm sander paper has a more durable backing. I run through from each side and different angles, so several passes. It sounds brutish but spokes are so narrow and not flat so they really don’t look as rough as you would think. Looks way better than rust anyway.

@@tlister67 sounds good. I'll definitely give that a try. That salt air is brutal on these bikes. I think this batch of bikes (the blue diamond back, Miyata mtb, this and a Head bike I've yet to post) came from coastal Connecticut hence the above average rust.

Great save, I love the color on that one, that's actually a great bike just before they went to walmart, what will you get for that one in your neck of the woods

I like the color, too. It's a good quality hybrid, not too far off from the specialized I recently posted. This was part of a batch of bikes that included the old Miyata, blue diamond back, and rusty head. This was in the best condition of all four.
