Thanks for all the suggestions, I will take it to the professionals for a once over and let you know the outcome. I suspect the last owner overdid the tightening of the stem.

Thanks for all the kind replies. It's always nice to find something you weren't expecting. I didn't mind either way on the neutral service angle as the components are pretty funky.

Is this a Mavic neutral service bike?

I'll have to look into getting a bike gps as I mostly rough out the journey on paper and take that with me. Usually means I get lost but then that's when you discover some great places.
