It's all cleaned up, new grease, cable and housing, bar tape, freewheel and chain. Polished the rims. Brakes are much better with the new housing. New bar tape - liked the original red so thought I'd try red. Colored tape is a lot harder to work with than black, shows up the imperfections a lot more.
Answered the question about the freewheel - the Suntour 2 prong fit the Maillard fine, removed it easily.
Really seems to have never been ridden - grease looked like new but had gone all waxy.
Tires looked good and probably could have been ridden - tan wall Specialized Touring 700X25 wire bead but didn't want to take the chance. Had a set of Veloflex Master 25 to try out and figured Italian tires on an Italian bike.
With the Brooks saddle, larger freewheel, long seat post, pedals and water bottle cage weight went up to a portly 24.8 lb. Seems to ride nicely, no complaints.
