Thanks! WHen you say from Canada, as in made in Canada? there's a sticker on the frame saying Made in France. Uh oh?
Plan with this is to repack the bearings. Exterior is mint. Very clean. Some plastics wraps are still wedged between parts! I took off the old brake pads and they dont seem to have much wear marks. Sanded them down for better contact.

Anyway, thanks again everyone for your feedback
