My uncle gave me one of the bikes he had as a kid a couple weeks ago. It's a Vista, I believe early-70s? I know the company stopped existing in '73, and they were originally around to compete with Schwinn. Has anyone had one of these? Or know if it would be worth fixing up to ride? I'm contemplating making my first fixie out of this. The bike looks pretty solid, and all the parts appear to work except the brakes.

Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
