thanks, Mike. I am a hoarder, so only chucked out the seat which was beyond redemption. I have all the mudguards, dynamo, etc. The gears are Fichtel and Sachs, Torpedo Dreigang (3 speed) made 1938. I am going to get a new lever and rear sprocket from Heinz at Velo-classic, Germany, for 30 Euros, then re-fit the 3 speed coaster brake hub. I hope it will stop better than it does now (virtually no brakes). I will keep all the touring fittings together, though.

I love the way this bike rolls along, and absorbs the little bumps. Very Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost - wafting best describes it.
