After a weekend of tinkering and cleaning, I think I'm just about done.
Jobs completed:
- OA bath for all chrome parts
- Meguiars Scratch X followed by wax
- New Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres, tubes and rim tape
- Grease/oil everything
- Treat saddle with neatsfoot oil
- Replace brake cables with NOS/pattern parts (they were at their limits, and one wasn't original anyway)
- Replace brake blocks with Kool Stop Continentals
- Replace SA driver with 3-spline type from 1980 hub
- Replace indicator chain
- Replace sprocket with 22T version
- Replace chain
- Replace nasty red & blue crimp terminals to rear lamp with plain metal ones and black heat-shrink
Jobs still to do (awaiting parts):
- Replace front & rear lamp bulbs with LED items
- Replace grips (in my haste, I cut off the old grips, thinking that they were nothing special. I now believe that they were the originals. I've fitted some temporary replacements whilst I wait for some NOS ones to arrive)
- Tidy the lighting cables using NOS John Bull rubber ties
You can see all the finished pics
here, but a few to start with:
