Should I replace the BB and headset while they're out? Or just give them a good service?

If they're rusty or tarnished give all the bits a soak in the citric or oxalic acid (whichever you decide to use), then wirewool em then give a polish with some Peek polish. They'll come up a treat. :daumenhoch:

If the bearing cases are still intact soak em in turps to get all the shite out. If they're fooked just ditch em and get some new ones from your local bike shop. :daumenhoch:

kitchen foil and warm water is great for removing rust spots inc tarnished bit and bobs..
Worked a treat on my gt pro performer and rebel pro survivors :daumenhoch:

Hi Lee,
Pleased to see you made your way over here and good to finally see the bike after it's spell in the attic :) .
Del sorted some decals for me too so agree with the recommendation.
If you are interested in any of the blue bits from my DP Delta II which can be seen in my prior to stripping and rebuilding thread (that reminds me I must post up some pics of it now built) then you can have them for a pint, they are however tatty.
Cheers
Keith

Lee you don't wanna be using tinfoil on chrome parts... it will scratch the chrome. Use the citric/oxalic as suggested and let it do the work for you. :daumenhoch:
Here oldschoolace's step by step citric acid thread. ;)
