I probably would not pay 75$, but the bike has a reasonably nice (partial) component set and is not a bad frame. Bars and stem may be Cinelli, Think the seller may not have listed properly. Suntour Cyclones are very nice old school pedals. Great for conversions. Campy post. Nishikis are fine, but the Japanese bikes tend to be undervalued; if it's a frame you are looking for you can find one cheaper. BTW, modolo Andonized some brakesets; this one may be red/pink andonized. Doesn't take much to rust a chain; WD40 does the trick nicely along with leaving the bike unused for a good period.

Given what I regularly pick up at thrifts, I'd ignore the above advice about them. Most Salvation Armies and Goodwills have convienent drop off points located throughout metropolitan areas. The trick is figuring out how they distribute what they pick up to their stores.
