Default Gleaming in the Winter sunshine

Hi guys
Finally got around to a semi-decent clean. Took off the front sprocket cover and removed nine years worth of crud etc etc. Showing the obvious signs of neglect by previous owners but coming together nicely. Got the braided hoses which are next to go on and then start giving the corroded bits some attention. Let me know what you think.
Cheers.

Mmm clean and shiny, but needs a belt sander on it to take off some of those pointy bits

Cleaning the front sprocket is one messy job !!! Did mine the other week - garage floor is still marked with blobs of oily paste. Bike looks good. Nice and pointy.
