I can polish, I'm a clockmaker ☺️

I will have a look for another pair of strong light crank arms but if I don't have any luck I will replace the whole thing. Unfortunately I have about 15 projects those rings could be used on 😬

I was lucky enough to be given an Overburys Connoisseur Touring bike last week. It's Reynolds 531 tubing and has a bit of a mixture of parts, mostly original I think bar the rear wheel, rear mech and saddle & stem. I won't be doing a full restoration as I like original paint. It does have some...
