Lubrication is far more important and challenged than you might think. Oil, and more-so grease, loose their ability to lubricate with the passing of time. I have opened bottom brackets that had nothing more for lubrication than rusty dust. One bottom bracket even had a dweller inside...
The
headset is fragile and should be properly greased and adjusted...
The wheel hubs and the mentioned
bottom bracket should be greased and adjusted...
After that, spend away on cables, bar tape and the like. But don't assume the grease is good to go, because it is possible that it already went.
May I ask what the hell that carcass turned out to be? GOOD GOD, MAN!!
