Gonna strip it down and give it an oxy bath and set about cleaning all the blue bits. Wheel bearings are mint, just need a grease. Think bendy is right, this may just come up a treat :-)

as she was pulled out of the back of the pick up truck




a few pics of the worst pitted bits, and after a little time with a razor blade and an Oxylic acid bath...
enjoy :)

stem



seat post



bars







chain wheel



crank arms (forgot before pic)
