The one area where I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with Jim is regarding the derailleur. They were not the top line SLJ but the standard offering SX410, according to my literature.
At $5.00 you got a super bargain.
Tom,
The rear derailleur on the OP's bike is a SX610 which is a Super LJ, while the front is a SJA222CX. If you go through the specs it has Mavic rims, and a stem/bar combination identical to the the PSV/PX10 models

Also, How do I re-string the internal cables after I remove them? Maybe leave some tie wire through the tubes?
This bike is gonna be fun to fix up.
Wayne,
Hoods are very difficult to find, I've been looking for a year.
To replace the cables....
1. Loosen brake levers but do not remove them
2. Disconnect inner wire at the caliper and pull it out through the brake lever. DO NOT move or remove the outer housing!!!
3. Install new inner wire.
4. Pull outer housings out of the handle bar and frame from the caliper end.
5. Install new housings from the caliper end.
