Bikes: A bunch of old bikes and a few new ones

It's not a candidate for modernization since you're not going to find modern parts that'll fit this frame's obsolete French sizing & threading.
Not quite. French parts are available but they may not be cost effective. Velo Orange has some; so does IRD. Harris cyclery often has some as well.
