I have a fly trueno I got in a trade and it has some rust. Just curious on everyone's thoughts on whether you'd run it or not

It’s just surface rust, I wouldn’t be concerned from those photos.
Hit it with some steel wool, put a little lithium grease or whatever you use when you press in your bearings and call it a day. When it’s time for it to break….it’ll break. Good luck.
That ain’t nothing, I’d put it together and send it. If you’re real concerned you could get some rust inhibitor spray (they make stuff specifically for steel bicycle frames).
shoot some wd40 down those open tube ends while it’s apart
tubes are usually never painted nor coated inside, you’ll always have this in any brand and it’s fine. there are years before a surface rust gets into a large crack
That’s fine bro
Steel does this no matter what you do unless you literally never ever ride your bike and keep it in a controlled atmosphere where there is literally no air or water.
Run it till it breaks fuck it. But damn those American bb
Insides are good, jusy some surface stuff. The gusset is the potential troublemaker as the moisture can cook there for ages,put some wd40 in there once ir twice a year.
Yes
Rust-off. Buff that shit out. Finish with some wd40or grease, good to go 👍
Send it my man. That’s nothing but a little surface rust. All steel frames will have this somewhere.
Enjoy
Yess 100% its fine unless ur dropping off building and in that case no frame is safe 😂🤷♂️
