    Who rode a gas-pipe bike in the 70s?

    I really want to take issue with your use of the phrase "lower classes", but yours is such a great story that I can't be arsed. For "arsed" read bothered.

    3 (THREE!) Jack Taylors in one eBay auction

    Fab. Thanks, mine was a stupid question. I'm guessing at least £500 to restore each frame etc to reasonable quality. Steering well clear!

    "Collect only" but given the central location could appeal to many buyers.

    Titanium…always been in love with this metal but did you know this ?

    Yes. I checked some out. They all seem to be alloyed with stainless steel.

    It could be the shutter operating mech itself, which is lubricated at time of manufacture. I wouldn't dare go there. Probably requires some disassembly - arrghh !

    https://www.photo.net/forums/topic/287149-shutter-lubrication/ Some good (old) info here. In the past my old dad (a keen amateur) swore by lighter fuel carefully applied by cotton bud. Definitely don't use any lubrication on blades themselves. It will always leave a residue.
