On this year's Christmas trip, I brought home my father's quite old but also high-spec bicycle. I guess it counts as an antique now... it's a brazed frame. I'm working on it now, as time allows... taking it mostly apart. My boss the bicycle nut is going to true the wheels for me. The chain is most likely getting replaced, and definitely going in the trash are the handlebar wrap and the tires. Everything else is getting a bath... this thing had a solid coat of WD-40 followed by 30 years of dust, so there's oily mung on everything.
The only head scratcher so far is where to get hoods for the brakes.
