It needs s service before I ride it and pads too. The stem does not grip the starter either. Also there are no brake cables fitted and one of the cotters is not installed. Bought as an unfinished project.
It wont be easy changing gear and with a 16 17 18 19t freewheel there is also no point.
The hub axle did not spin freely prevent it working. It's just hard grease though
Cups and cones fine. Freewheel needs to come of as I want to service that too.

Have you tried riding it yet? Interested to see how easy/hard it is to change gear. You hear stories from back in the day that some riders could do it single handed while still pedalling up a hill, but then others complained how horrible it was to use.
