excellent thanks!

but how old is yours?

the badge on mine is all chrome as far as i can make out.

I stripped it all down tonight which was incredibly easy once I twigged that it was a stem with what I'd describe as a spreader bolt and it was seized in!

what brake pads should I go for steel wheels and does anybody have any suggestions on what to do about heavily rusted chrome handlbars and slightly less serious yet still pretty rusty chrome everywhere else (except fork crown)

cheers
