I have never really taken any sort of serious interest in biking until extremely recently. I was given a 1979 Schwinn World Sport by my grandparents in their last garage cleaning effort. It is definitely a small project and will need plenty of TLC; however, it has sparked a huge amount of curiosity and desire to learn as much as possible about road bikes and how they work/ how to fix or restore them. After being given this bike, I found an ad for an unbelievably cheap road bike-nameless and re-painted several times- ($10) and bought it the next day. It was in awful shape but has some decent parts that I'm hoping will contribute to the mild restoration I will soon be undertaking. I would really appreciate any advice from all of you on how I should approach this process. The main purpose for fixing the bike is commuting. I am a USC student and need to get from my off-campus apartment quickly and safely so this bike needs to work well and require low maintenance. All advice is welcome!

Thanks in advance!
