"It's easier on a Grubb" (tandem)

Ha thanks, the encouragement helps when spending mindless hours with wire wool.

Here’s a before and after pic from the electrolysis and then cleaning. Chemistry’s great, huh.

Also a bonus pic of the frame with the wheels on. The seat posts and bars are just there as a mock up, haven’t finished restoring them yet. I rebuilt the front wheel with a fresh NOS 590 chrome rim. The rear rim was fine after a bit of gentle oily wire wool- as all 3 speed aficionados will know, the constant oil dripping out of a sturmey hub means you rarely get much rust on the rear wheel...
The cranks will be a little while before going on yet, because the chainring bolt hole threads are full of fresh chrome after they were rechromed, so I’ll have to get that removed, d’oh! Rooky error that I should have warned the rechromers about.
