The rust is quite bad. What would you suggest I do? Maybe try to sand it down to the metal again and repaint? I have a road bike with front forks that are steel. The rust is quite bad.

A brass brush is 3 or 4 dollars at the hardware. Strips heavy rust off chrome like crazy, but doesn't scratch. Not for me anyway. I fixed up two 40 year old Schwinns this way.

All the tips about it above seem to use water or soda pop as a lubricant. But I used light oil instead, as in the steel/brass wool tips, and it works. The Aluminum works!

You would be shocked how shiny i can get a totally rusted bike in a few minutes. Does take a bunch of alum. foil though. Spritz, wad & foil, and rub. And no little steel wool hairs...

Just have to wash'n'dry it after. I also tried wet sandpaper earlier, but it all fell into little pieces. Is there some kind of special water-resistant sandpaper that I just don't know about?
