Yeah, well, I cleaned it up. 700c wheels with a correct 1951 FM hub (so it's not a three speed any more), nearly correct dynamo in front, and it's mechanically sound (always a plus!).
In the mean time it has changed again; Neal gave me a headlamp that says "Lenton" on it, so I switched those. And I found an exact replacement for the original crank (which was bent). New photos are needed!
