Progress updates:
Thanks to the magic of YouTube tutorials and some cone wrenches I was able to take the front hub apart. Grease was sparse and yellow. So, nope!--it hadn't been overhauled anytime recently.

An REI gift card came to the rescue and now this beauty has a Brooks saddle.

I changed all the cables and housing and then discovered I can't really squeeze the grips. Why didn't I listen to advice and test that first? Lesson learned!

The work continues...
