I bought this same bike(same size, color, & vintage) but in not as nice condition at a swap a few years ago. I paid $150 and was happy about it. The bike is now one of my favorite riders. I love the feel of these bikes, and I don't worry too much about scratching it.
Another vote here for the Sugino cranks being original. I have two of these now, and both came with these Sugino Mighty Competition cranks. My first one(same bike in about the same condition, but in a blue/teal) color like Dirtdrop's bike) I bought from the original owner who claimed it was as he bought it new in 1971. I have since replaced the cranks on both bikes with Stronglight 93's because it just seems right. The Suginos are nice looking cranks, but they are after all, knockoffs of Campy Nouvo Record. I also have to admit that I replaced the brakes on both bikes. The Mafac Competitions worked superbly, but I couldn't get the squeal out of them. One bike now has Campy Nouvo Record brakes, the other Campy Victory.
Congrats on your most excellent find. Let us know what you think after you get a chance to put a few miles on the bike.
