Wheels, BB and crank arrived yesterday.
The BB fits, so that was good news - it's standard.
Wheels are nice, and I don't think they look too skinny.
Crank is pretty heavy compared with the one I had to remove, but I kind of like that.
Having a very quick look at what the chainline might be, it looks like it's going to be OK.
Measured the inner dimension of the frame where the seat post will go and you're right oxpoleon it's 25 point something. So I'm going to need an inch seat post.
I might try and clean up the pedals from the original.
After many more hours cleaning paint and rust... it's not looking that much different - see attached
