I am SOOOO suprised at it's condition and it's ease at being operational again. Grease, elbow and real, new cables, bar wrap, hoods, brakes pads, and tires and it was rolling again. For around $200. Nice!! Another friend had the seat sitting in his garage so he gave it to me. BB and headset had minor pitting but they feel fine after a good cleaning. The hubs were in like new condition. The pedals came with my MTB, went to SPD with a platform on it so this bike got those. For my purposes a mountain shoe with spd's will be fine.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll be hanging mostly in the C&V getting tips and ideas for possible upgrades. I'd like a few more gears, but not really sure why. Should probably just change the front rings and have same result as changing the entire cog set in the back. Maybe a 50/39, something like that.
