and oof on the Schwinn, looks like it needs to be completely submerged in Evapo-Rust!
Late 80s Sirrus and Allez are the same frame. The Sirrus had softer paint and 105 instead of 600 parts. Great under-the-radar bikes!

In the end the Schwinn is a pound puppy rescue - but Evapo-Rust works wonders. Fingers crossed! For now it goes into storage - but indoors and out of the rain!
