Yes, I do ride it. I'm not really a touring or distance rider, more of a weekend warrior, but it is a pretty comfortable ride. I'm pretty short and the frame fits me well, compared to pretty much everything else in my tap water budget. I rebuilt the derailleur, cleaned and regreased everything, new cables and tires. I even redid the seat. The powdercoater has it at the moment. It looks and feels like a completely different animal now. Its been a bit of an investment, but its a a lot more interesting than the walmart bikes I would've otherwise been limited to. Plus, despite being 45 years old, its still sturdier
