You're right though, it could do with a rebuild as it's done quite a few miles and is 20 years old or so.

It was a bit cruddier than normal as I've been spraying it with GT85 from time to time to make sure it didn't rust in the damp garage
That's probably what it is then. I would say that its probably worth getting it re-sprung too for your weight at the same time. It looks like you have a lot of pre-load on that spring. They do seem to be soft as standard, mines the same. I think they're sprung for bantam weight racers not normal people!
