I have nearly the same bicycle. It is a 1982-83 model 980 that has the identical frame and just slightly different kitting. Has a 980 gear ensemble instead of NR and 605 arrestor set instead of Flash but otherwise appears the same machine.

I'm going to strip everything off the frame, then do some sanding and poking around in those bad spots to see how bad they are.
