Well having more of the story helps to understand your situation. From your starting post i thought you had bought the bike many years ago then storied it away for whatever reason. But, also, from your post it seemed that you were unfamiliar with the bike and how to assemble it. I now understand you are far more informed then i thought. So with your skills can you give us a more specific focus on the parts that you still have questions with? If you are unable to fully describe the parts, photos will help us guide you better. Andy.
