I’ve been through this with my wife’s wisp. I gave them a ‘service’ (ie dismantled and reassembled) - think I added a washer or two to stop arms binding. Threw some cheap road pads in there - new cables too - worked fine. In the end I upgraded to tektro dual pivot. Cable has to route up the seat tube and do a 180ish bend so there is friction on the rear but it works okay.

No but thanks - all I know about Dean is he had a shop in St Albans at some point. Also some story about him taking a dump in a bidon/hat ! Bit of a character apparently-bikes were brazed in the Barton on Humber works at one point I think.
Also - plenty of people on here build wheels and I’m sure there’s a thread for tips and advice.
I’ve made a couple very modest forum based impulse bargain buys for this bike. A tange headset Miche post and Tiagra shifters - so it will be a right ol muddle but might be riding it this year at least.

You’d hope it comes down mostly to the wall fixings/ quality of the steel. Nothing more annoying than fitting something that then wiggles loose. I nearly went vola but u-turned massively with this little number from Ikea - folded painted steel - blends into a white wall unless my wife buys coloured loo roll to fuck with me. Two screws so kids ain’t gonna pull it off. £2.
