My thanks to hubgearfreak and marcusthemoose for your offers of help, the hub nuts would be much appreciated. I dont think I will repair the gearshift and mechanism as I am looking to sell the bike and maybe leave that to the new owner. I live in a village called Hartlebury between Kidderminster...
