Ok, so top tip is the pennies trick. Many thanks Chris. I now have two knackered pennies. I wonder if I'm gonna be in trouble for this!?!
Judicious tapping either side with a hammer through a length of wood eventually caused some movement. I got brave and cranked an extra quarter turn on the pennies and voila, I could move the thing by hand.
My fettling was thwarted by the lack of the proper crank puller for Stronglight cranks so there's a new addition for the toolbox to be had.
I managed to ease out each side, clean it up and apply a thin layer of lube. I couldn't find the copperslip so I just lubed for now. It's gonna get dismantled again in the spring I suspect.
I took a link out of the chain. Bugger. It's too short!
Stupid me. Oh well. Link back in, eccentric adjusted to max (if you see what I mean. Daisy is operable.
Hurrah!!!!!!
Now I just need to swap in the stoker bars, fettle a slight rubbing out of the back wheel and connect up the speedometer.
Thanks for all the tips and hints guys.
