I disassembled the bottom bracket, headset and wheel bearings tonight. The are actually very smooth. All is in very good condition just that the grease had become almost like dirty paraffin. No rust in the fame by the bottom bracket and doesn't appear to be any inside the steering tobe. Fixed the front shifter - it was all gummed up and a spring seemed to have jumped off its hooks. Massive cleaning and then Eezox to lube and the dogs finally engage the ratchet gear.
