Did some more cleanup this morning. As far as keeping the front wheel in the right orientation, it has a Dynohub, so that will help. Also, the hub works (shocked myself on it, haha).

Took an oily rag to the droptube... and it was just crud on it from years in a barn, with the paint looking a lot better than a 65-year-old bicycle should. Yay! I was thinking of doing the other bike...

My fiance's father offered me the bike he rode through seminary, a (from my best guess) 1954 Raleigh Sports Model 22. It's been hiding in a barn loft for 20 years, and before that in various garages...
