Thanks for the advice - I like the idea of buying a new rear der and then selling the old one to a restorer. Maybe I should go the whole hog and sell the front one too, and the shifters, if they might be worth something! Could just replace the lot.
The creaky bars is a weird one. When I flex the bars I can hear the creak, and it just doesn't sound like it's coming from the mounting point - actually it sounds more like it's coming from where the brakes are attached. That said, I know creaks and rattles are notoriously hard to pin down to a location; they often sound like they come from somewhere other than the actual problem part. I have exactly the same issue locating vibrations on my trombone...!
