Early Santana

I have had this bike probably 10 years, I have never ridden it. We have a couple other tandems so hasn't been a high priority, but I think its time to get on this thing.. If it is a '76 it would be a 50th anniversary bike :-). It needs a good cleaning, the paint may not look as good as it really is in these images since it has been hanging in the garage for years. I didn't want to just get after it and scratch the paint with the dust. I will get it outside and give it a good bath this weekend hopefully.

I would like to learn more about this, I know it has the not so desireable disc brake for a drag brake, of course the bar tape will be changed, assuming an early bike like this came with cloth tape originally?

Appreciate any and all input from those who know these bikes.
