Welcome Duncan.

....lots and lots of good advice....

...and don't discount using your existing cranks.

Also check the frame is the right size for you before you spend money on paint or a powdercoat.

Best of luck.

The cranks look like cottered cranks. In which case, I'd say move on. I tried so hard with mine, but at the end of the day it's just not worth it. Still it was a learning experience.

Also definitely put some miles on the the bike before commuting money to resprays etc.
