It's not in perfect condition by any means, but there is something about it.
New chain, new tyres and new pedals should help a bit
(when I have some spare cash)

No further on other than cleaning. I should have shares in Autosol - I'd make a fortune! The wheels are coming up pretty well. Front one is chrome, but the rear is something else. But coming up pretty shiny with a bit of effort 
Noticed a frayed cable earlier - another job for Mr Hop over Christmas
Or if he gets a monk on, the LBS....

A final update (for now )
Wisp has been to the LBS and now has a seat stem that slides, a shiny new chain, new rear brake blocks, new gear cable, touring pedals, a couple of domed nuts for the rear wheel so it can go on the turbo trainer. Just fitted it with the rear rack off my old Saracen, so all is looking good.
It is now currently in place on the turbo trainer until the weather improves

Nope, will be on the Marin. I know I can do the distance on that. You really don't want me as the team mechanic. Oh. Hold on, you mentioned beer.Hop is this steed touring Europe with us this summer.
