Well done getting that stem out. Clearly you have no propensity for appeasement.
 
Is that a wavy washer I see before me? (with apologies to Lady MacBeth)

Macbeth himself, actually...

Is that a dagger that I see before me?
Handle towards my hand.
Come, let me touch thee.
I have thee not,
And yet I see thee still...

And yes, I still remember that damned soliloquy 37 years after I played Macbeth in a school production of "The Scottish Play" :biggrin:

Really struggled to get the top lock nut started cleanly, so let me local bike shop do some thread re working and cleaning, £5 later all sorted.

Once back home seat pin removed cleaned and greased and the handle bar stem re fitted with some grease .

Next job is to fit a new rear brake cable and a bit of light cleaning.

That's a gorgeous looking machine Martin. If the frame were somewhat larger I'd be waving some beer tokens in your direction.

I can understand that completely

Yes that's very nice, just been looking on the original ebay listing, my size but I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER BIKE.

There is a retrobike thread mentioning Phil Sherwood and 753, which I assume you've seen.
