I've done this before, but thank God for the YouTube for a refresher course. Should I replace the 18t cog with a spare 22 I have sitting around?

Atom 501 pedals stamped Made in England. They arrived so clean and spinning so nicely I suspected they were reproductions. That's a great EBay seller, and a nice fit with the bike

The Atom 501 pedals. They arrived from the EBay seller looking so good and spinning so well I thought for a bit they must be reproductions. Great seller, and a great fit for the bike.

GB Hiduminium brakes. I don't know how they'll be as brakes, but they polished up nicely.

Apparently the last pair of these from Harris Cyclery. They'll look and ride great, if they fit inside the mud guards.

Cranks are Brampton, 48t and about 68mm. Headset lock ring, too. Levers are unmarked.

I'm not the first person to be pretty aggressive with this poor thing. But it seems to me it will be safe to polish up and reuse, won't it?

The brakes that were fitted. I've made a bit of a splurge and ordered a set of 1953 GB Hiduminium brakes. Without a catalog to refer to, that seems like a good fit.

Chain guard and mud guards got a less diluted oil rub, and pretty heavy on the insides.

The dynamo creates more resistance than I expected, but have no idea if that is right. After a good, tricky cleaning of the magnet and outer rings, there's no rubbing or grittiness, just the attraction of the magnet at each step.

Dunlop 26" x 1 3/8" front wheel. Cleaned up pretty will, though there is some rust damage to the chrome. Ordered replacement bearings for it.

Light coat of boiled linseed oil diluted with mineral spirits. Certainly makes the raw steel parts less noticeable, and should make a nice, reversible preservative.
