Cheers! It's been fun.
Fitted the off-centre bars (seemed appropriate somehow) and stuck on some old MTB grips, I don't much like these but the lock on fitting just makes everything easier for now. Added a bell and set off for a late lunch at the allotment I might get a second plot on. New drivetrain was an absolute joy to pedal, if nothing else it was almost completely silent - at least compared to what it replaced. I reckon the chain I took off was the original 1990s one (has HG - hyperglide I assume - on it.)
Anyways I like this bike a lot, it’s straightforward and comfortable. Very low drama. I can see me keeping it for a long time.
