Current Projects chat and miscellany

@jimmy. Personnally I'd just dismantle it (WD40 should help), polish the bits (check for bad damage) and greese + rebuild. I've used a cheap rubbing compound on rusted parts (non-painted), followed by some good old turtle wax, works a treat. The real question is the condition of the frame, which doesnt look too bad from here.
Love the rod brakes. Are they effective?

Yep, that actually work!
Cheers for the tips too - sounds perfect. As I said, the idea is to clean it up and maintain it without doing a full-on museum piece.
