Have similar issues with my guvnor, axle keeps moving forward its a real pain as it throws the gears out (3 speed hub gear) tried to fit some chain tugs on it (MKS) but the axle is to big, taking the rear wheel of is a pain and its a really heavy bike, not a particularly nice bike to ride plus i made it worse by fitting alloy north roads which flex like crazy, quite a head turner though heh heh :)
One thing i did notice with it though, they come with a cinelli 1a and a shimmed bar, need to double check but i'm not aware of any shims to take a 25.4 bar up to 26.4, when i picked mine up the bars did move slighly, had to tighten the clamp up very tightly to get them to grip sufficiently, if the stem bolt where to fail this would be pretty catostrophic with north road bars

how about stove enamelling ?
Could try C and G finishes (0151 734 3088) on smithdown rd they have been going for years in fact they used to enamel for harry quinn amongst others, I was down there on friday and they had just finished a number of hetchins frames the detailing was crazy!
I used to go to a powdercoater in speke, little industrial estate behind the matchworks (goodlass rd i think) closed down for a while but i think it may have reopened under a new name (link below)

Picked this up from original owner, was kept in the loft from new unbuilt, he recently built it up with modern components but never rode it, bit strange taking a bike so old out for its first ever run, goes like the wind!
Want to make it a bit more period so will be changing a number of the parts, ordered some campag cable guides for the top tube at the weekend looking for some bar end shifters next

need to work out the age of the frame to see if its a walton road or england head badge, the serial number is often on the BB shell which will help with the dating
