I don't have any photos, but I have made substantial progress on the super sport. I taken each component apart and removed pounds of rust by soaking them in vinegar. The super sport really in rough. The cranks are clean now, but missing a lot of chrome from where the rust had caused a lot of damage. Sometimes I use a smear of grease to cover those areas to keep a barrier between the steel and the elements.

I'll post detailed progress later.
