Thanks for the added help.

I didn't know to use chrome polish on the badge! That is great.
I have heard the spindle refered to as the "axle" or "spindle." Recently, I was talking with someone in our bike group about my spindle and he had no idea what I was talking about so I guess I assumed everyone called it an axle.
I made another thread here. Sheldon Brown suggested not spending too much money on the bike. I was considering throwing the spindle I pulled out, back in. It appears to be in good shape. Are their advantages to cottorless cranks besides easy crank removal?

Thanks for the assistance.
