I have identified a significant fettling requirement. Front forks of ageing winter bike have split where the dropout plugin has galvanically corroded.

It is not easy finding a qr disc fork with a straight 1 1/8 steerer, let me tell you. At least not one I'd trust.

Bike not changing gear correctly. Front changer had dropped a bit and its now perfect. Very pleasing.

Took the flat tub off the old Chesini, scowled at it for a bit and then managed to get the tape covering the stitching off. Scowled at it some more before moving on to something else.
Drilled out the broken cable adjusters in the braze ons of a Bob Jackson frame, retapped the threads and they're good to go. Put an old bottom bracket in to check those threads and all is well.
Should probably build it up then.

Respoked the back wheel with a 3 speed sturmey archer hub, added a rear basket, brooks saddle and pedal extenders.
