Re:

The plastic is Acera X, or do you mean the u lock frame bracket?

Good for peanuts.

By "Plastic" do you mean the bracket on the seattube? if so it's a d-lock mount. The skewer looks pretty far gone but give it a clean and have at it with some Autosol and see how it goes. Best thing is to strip the bike down and clean and de-grease everything then see what needs replacing (the chain for instance should go in the bin

).

Re:

Yeah the plastic looks like a bracket to hold a D-Lock.
Try wire wool on the q/r, followed by metal polish. It'll never be perfect, but should come up adequately.
Can't argue with that for a tenner!

Yeah didn't think of it being a lock mount,yeah for a tenner it should clean up nice,any wire wool do? How would you clean up the handlebar gunk? I need to get a pic up,think it's alloy not steel
