Oil
I can't see anything wrong with using ordinary car engine oil. Molybdenum disulphide (Molyslip) is a good additive, especially if you happen to ride in the rain since it takes longer to wash off that straight mineral oil.
You've certainly done a great job with the cleaning - it looks ready to ride in a BLRC race!
I shouldn't be surprised if you have the only Gnutti cranks in existence with their original chrome - even when I was young the only ones I saw had already started rusting.One small point: the bike would look more 'gen' (as we used to say) if you move the brake levers further up the bend of the handlebars. It was intended that you would be able to use the brakes when holding the top of the lever hoods, as well as from the bottom of the bends.

What chain oil would anyone recommend for this bike.
Is there a modern equivalent of what would have been used at the time which would be best suited for the
components?
Or is it best just to use something modern
