Thanks, Bianchigirll. Yeah, it's not too bad. The rust on the seat lug cleaned off real quick and I've yet to find any dents at all. I'll primer up that lug and buff the rest of the paint to get the sparkle back. I just dyed the saddle and the whole bike looks a million times better. I think I'll throw on a 700c wheelset I've got banging around and some Suntour superbe long reach brakes that have been needing a home.

The derailleurs seem original and both have year code 'Z' for '83. Does that make it an '82' or '83' model? Do they do it like auto manufacturers?
