I've since replaced most bearings and re-greased everything, added Schwalbe Big Apple tires, a Crane brass bell, Velo-Orange fenders, moved my comfy Brooks B67 over, installed fresh brake pads. The old 6-speed suntour freewheel had a lot of loose bearings in it so i replaced it with a sunrace 6 speed freewheel. I added a 28 tooth chainring on the front so I can actually climb hills in this thing. I just installed a rack and panniers that I purchased from Mountain Equipment Co-op. Itching to replace the foam grips with something nicer.
Really nice find... and welcome to Bf from another Edmontonian.
