Linseed oil may not be as good as Framesaver, but it would certainly help. I have also used the automotive restoration product POR-15 (a tough black paint) and I thought it was quite effective.

Hello John, Your remark took me by surprise : ---- [...] have seen the tragic effects of inadequate consideration of the corrosion promotion caused bydissimilar metals [...] The solutions are: [...] electrical isolation, [...] ---- Do you think that using the Frame as a return for a AC Dynohub electrical circuit would make things worse? by the way I will often ride in the proximity of the sea so in a hot, humid and salty climate. Also... is there any chemical that can apply inside the frame to prevent or at least slow corrosion? (I tried to get one of those special cans for steal frames available in the US Market but, as no abroad ground shipping service is available... I was not able to) Regards, Pablo Brena México, Distrito Federal. México
