Hi Rob,
I used white spirit to clean up the hoods and it worked very well,but did initially leave the rubber slightly tacky to the touch.I can't remember for sure whether the original rims are marked Alesa or not they are currently in the loft,but are the original aero rims the Elix was equipped with when sold new.
Coincidentally I have a Raleigh Record Sprint in excellent original condition it's also a 21.5'' frame,but a bike I rarely use now I'll probably move it along before long.
Good luck with the refurb,by the way.
Cheers,
Mark.
