Before I get blasted out of the water - I have taken an old Palisades that needed some lurve and transferred it into an easily useable bike for our lass, which would appeal to her in simplicity and looks. For what I have spent I could have bought something a lot better - but its starting to look good for me.
So......
Replaced - Tyres + Tubes and rim tapes - pedals - bars + all ancilliaries that went with them - rear cassette - seat post and saddle - Bottom bracket
Frame / fork / stem - Blasted, and powder coated, by Betta Blast in Newcastle.
Removed front mech and moved middle ring forward - Keeping it simple for her indoors.
Replaced canti's with Vs although not liking the way they are sitting and cable runs are awkward.
I want to replace the shifter, but its all i had! and could to with a smarter chain ring
Thats about it, gonna try and restore the rear mech, fit all cables get decal (who does em) take it round the block a few times then tweak everything.
Am Happy!
