@lae: Thanks for the great suggestions and yes I want polished alumiumn so I can see my ugly mug. How much work realistically (i.e. am I looking at a weekend) to hand polish the wheels, stem, seatpost, cranks etc.
I think the dropouts are not horizontal given its age.
Not sure what I am want to do on the handle bars but definitely looking to change them & the seat.
