Another little update, after a metric ton and subsequent clean this morning I relaxed with some afternoon fettling. New brakes inners and outer, a new chain and a new rear inner/outer. A few problems with the front mech as the lie limit screw does not work, so I had to fiddle with cable tension to get make it all work. Finally I scrubbed the hoods, Then bleached them, then scrubbed them over and over and finished off with new bar tape and a bottle cage.
Thanks to @Hugh Manatee with his stem the reach matches my other bikes.
I still need to sort the front and rear wheel bearings, but it is certainly more than rideable even if it is a bit tatty.
