Hi everyone - a newbie to the forum here!
I have decided to sell my Holdsworth special. When I bought it in 1995, it was fitted out for triathlon/time trials and had the handlebar set up with the gear levers at the end and it was in a pretty bad way. It has a Reynolds 531 double butted frame, campag running gear, and mavic rims. I had the frame shot blasted and re enamelled and stickered, and new handlebars for road use.
The thing I wanted to ask was what to clean up the components with before sale? I was going to use a degreaser with a toothbrush to remove the grime. Is it ok to use fine wire wool to remove corrosion off a rusty nut for example? is there a place on the forum for advice on value etc?
Many thanks in advance.
Sid.
