Ten year overhaul (a lot of newbie questions)

Rear one single line so set of 3 bike specific hoses approx cost £75, and specify chrome or s/less steel banjos NOT alloy.

Will specify a "race" (double) set - I quite like the metal look, but may just go for black

Duly noted!

Cables=unless frayed/damaged/corroded-use a pressure lubricator attachment-about £7 from bike shop

All now ordered

I've just this minute booked a £40 valet cos I'm a rich, idle sod!

Sounds like a plan!
