No pix today, but since I last checked in I have -

- cleaned and repacked the headset
- fitted a cleaned, re-greased seat post and bottle screws
- scrubbed the frameset and both wheels with Dawn dish soap and a brush
- polished the frameset again with Meguiar’s - she’s not winning any Concours, I’m afraid
​​​​​​- concluded the front hub is fine as-is
- cleaned and repacked the rear hub bearings

And I may yet take the brake calipers and derailleurs and just soak them in dish soaped water to cut the grease and filth ...
