Next steps, assuming the re-spacing goes to plan, are to fit a new front rack and decide on some lights. Seem to be some good deals on b&m lights at the moment on SJS e.g.: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/lighting/busch-muller-lumotec-lyt-t-senso-headlight-for-hub-dynamos/
Then I'd like to replace the tyres which isn't really essential but I'd like to feel a bit more capable on more muddy rides, and would look a bit cooler. Justifying this to myself because the few days of snow we had last month made my towpath commute pretty sketchy (but fun).
In the long run, I'd really like to get the frame stripped and resprayed as it's really showing its age and some spots of surface rust are causing me concern. I've also got a real hankering for a second bike, which is something I could only dream of in my previous tiny flat. Thinking a nice steel frame road bike but I also have a real soft spot for the pimped up raleigh twentys I've seen on here
