I recently inherited the care of our collections.  I have 3 bicycles that
are in desparate need of cleaning.  One bicycle is
from 1883 and made of wood and metal, another more recent of metal with
rubber seat and rubber tires, another of metal with leather seat, rubber
tires.  What would be the least harmful way to clean all of these neglected
pieces, that have accumulated much grime and dust over the years?  Any help
is greatly appreciated.
