One minor point I found puzzling from the earlier thread still makes me curious. The machine's Record front mech is evidently late enough not to have the housing stop on the body. The Camapg catalogue published 1967 shows this component still fitted with the housing stop. Perhaps the machine's original front mech was replaced at some point. Judging by the cycle's general lack of wear indications, if this took place it may have been due to misadventure.

Or is the housing stop there but bypassed by assembler? Despite the numerous good images of the bike there is no view of the backside of the front mech. Thanks for any information.

Cleaned up very nicely; excellent work!
