Messy progress

At the cost of various scratches to both myself and the fabric of my room, the destruction of a small number of tools, and the liberal coating and removal of my epidermis with pungent machine oils, I feel able to say tada;
The handlebars creak alarmingly when propelled uphill, the rear wheel is a shade too large and has a terrifying tendency to intersect the brake calipers, the front wheel has a bearing which barely bears, and one of the chainrings is ever-so-slightly non planar but, all in all, it goes. Which for £58 isn't bad.

I shall, perchance, invest in new wheel at the cost of some £30 and it shall go like the clappers.
