Thanks. I have noticed that a lot of bicycle guys like them as close to as found condition, as possible, right down to the animal feces stuck in the tire treads. I get it, that is OK, but, I draw the line at getting my hands or clothes rusty when I use it.
Deep service is what I do most of the time. I also attempt to buy and keep bikes that really only need that type of work. I’m sick of doing bodywork and shooting paint, although, the right bike or other project sometimes will get it if I really like it.
The last bike I bought. Late 1980 Raleigh DL1. Just a good, deep service:

Sorry the thread drifted a bit. Your 5 speed is a great buy for a future tweed rider. GLWTS.
