I WAS a confirmed user of linseed oil for many years. It worked effectively but was a pain to insert in the tubes; especially fork blades and chain stays. To coat tubes effectively one needed to manipulate the frame to allow proper flow into all areas.

I began using Framesaver about three years ago and will never go back. Far easier to apply inside the tubing and makes fork blade and chain stay application a breeze.

Framesaver is worth every penny and a small price to pay for the peace of mind that your valuable rig ain't gonna rust from the inside...out.

THANKS Peter for this excellent product.
