Torontonian, Thanks, as these are the kind of tips and advice I'd be wanting and needing if I were to purchase this bike. By the way, I have no idea what the "lay shaft bearing" is in the gear box, and I have no Whitworth British wrenches in my tool box (never have had a need for them) or retainer ring tool or clutch removal tool, but these are things I'll need to consider if I were to proceed with this bike purchase. Thanks to all members that are responding with advice.
