Okay, so it's arrived. Bit more surface pitting of the paint than I'd hope for but generally quite smart ride and about the right size, but it's def gonna need a respray.

Gonna replace the hole ridden tubes & ride round on it geared for a week or two before building up some wheels.

First question is the wheel nuts are obviously imperial and about the size of 15mm like my fuji. What size spanner am I gonna need to pick up>

an adjustable one! or just get a full set, not that expensive and definitely worthwhile if you're going to be doing a good bit of work with older bikes. old/antique spanners usually crop up on ebay, I've bought a couple of lots off there, usually only one or two are of any use but it's worth it for those. For instance, my current lockring spanner cost me 2p.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
