For $65, what's not to like? I'd buy it and let it hang in the shop for a while.

Interesting mix:
Mafac brakes.
Suntour RD.
Looks like an early Shimano Altus FD? Maybe a Suntour I've not seen yet?
Must be one of those bikes an exploding Simplex was replaced on?!

I like these bikes, and I like cottered cranks - but I am with Thrifty Bill on this.
- Though the bent fork would not deter me - It's slight, and I could fix it easily. Likewise with the rust on the crank...
- But the broken pedal (good used pedals are not cheap) - and rust on the frame would make it a pass, unless I could get it for a lot less money.
