Just noticed that you are in Malvern. I used to work for a company over that way......I live in Allentown.
Cool, I hear there is a pretty good cycling scene there since you are close to T-town.
One of these days when I am bored I will take off the bolts and check the threads, grease them liberally, and possibly replace if the rust is more than superficial. That seems the most reasonable choice.
