This literally was saved from the trash pile. It's high tensile steel and absolutely nothing special but it's no longer headed to oblivion and someone will get some use out of it. It's got decent indexing thumbies. I replaced the saddle, rear hub and rear spokes with used but good condition ones, lubed, shined and painted. (black is easy to touch up), and put some pretty nice used road tires on it. I was very disappointed to find the seatpost is stuck. It extends about a foot down the seat tube and isn't really worth the effort to remove it so it goes out as is. I got a nice rear rack out of it so I'm into it for about zero dollars.
