Hello to all

ME:

I'm Buzz; a Londoner - who emigrated to New Zealand and now lives north of Auckland. Ridden bikes all my life. Was among the first bike messengers/cycle couriers in London. Ridden few races, toured a fair bit and completed the odd brevet/audax. Still a paid-up member of Tower Hamlets Wheelers and London Cycle Campaign. Just about to become a paid-up member of Auckland Cycle Touring Assoc.

MY BIKES:

Dawes Discovery 701 expedition/tourer - http://snipurl.com/pb0q Customised P6 Brompton folding bike - http://snipurl.com/pb0s

and, as of a few days back, the reason why I'm here...

A 1970? RIH 4 speed road bike in need of TLC - http://snipurl.com/pb0t

Hoping to learn how to ascertain the provenance of the bike, clean it up (as distinct from return it to 'as new' state), source/repair/ replace the correct components and enjoy the process!

Cheers
