The renovation stopped short of a repaint. A close-up would show the rich variety of stone chips and scratches - the bike had been very well used on a commuter run. I have been searching for a suitable touch-up paint. Otherwise virtually everything was removed from the frame and deep cleaned, greased, lubed as appropriate. New wheels, new seatpin, new SKS guards, new brake blocks. A spare saddle fiitted, Gatorskins and Keos 'on loan' from another bike. The drive train cleaned up really well, and the chainset had been replaced in the past. Very happy with it

Thanks . I have now changed the saddle and touched in some of the stone chips. Fitted a longer stem, then refitted the shorter one! It was intended for use as my new/additional winter bike, but given the weather it is likely to become the default year-round one.
