Thanks Gigfy. Now I know that I'm after lightweight 5 hole chainrings 110mm BCD 48 38 28, but after a cursory glance on ebay and leboncoin I haven't managed to find owt. Where's a good place to buy (preferably secondhand, unless new aren't too dear) please? UK outlets are ok as I'll be visiting...

Thanks once again. I'll look at buying separate rings, once I've measured the BCD tomorrow. In the meantime, would this https://www.leboncoin.fr/velos/2290574224.htm work as a complete set on my bike, and do you think it is a good buy? (Then I'll leave you in peace!)

That's really helpful, thanks. I have 28 on the cassette, so will try to match it. Apart from that, are those (that I sent the link for) the kind of chain rings you would recommend?

Here's to Daddy Longlegs and their cast-offs! Mum's trying to find an original photo that they took for insurance purposes, which if found, will be able to confirm or otherwise Revellries...

Thanks so much for all this detail. I've ordered the brake pads, and lubricated the freewheel which now works beautifully. My ignorance extends to chain rings too! What sort of thing could I look for please?

Thanks for all of your help and ideas everyone. I'm bowled over to see all of these responses, as I only got an email notification for the first reply, and thought that there were no others. It feels good to learn more about my dear dad's bike. It is a big bike, although Dad was under 6', he...

Hello everyone. Thank you for having me on your forum. I'd love some help with my bike please. I inherited from my dad a while back, but have only just recovered it from the barn and am enjoying riding it around. He bought it new a fair while ago, but is no longer around to answer my...
