Two pairs of brake pads, chain, set of brake and gear cables all picked up today from my local bike shop. Think this will be finished tomorrow morning

That's it 99% done now
Chain, cables and brake blocks all fitted. Got a stubborn cable pinch bolt on the front brake, so waiting to see if it'll free up with a bit of gt85. If not may have to resort to a drill or see if there's a spare at my local bike shop I can have.
Surprised only one bolt out of the whole bike has given me any issues, given that the bike had been left outside for a while. I've removed all the bottle cage bolts and rack bolts which were a bit stiff, copper greased them and popped them back in. This should help prevent any future issues.
Just need the weather to fair up a little bit and then I can set the gears up and make sure everything's well. Then can get a few pictures before boxing it up and sending on to Rojo.
Quite a satisfying mini project and one that I hope will serve Rojo well
