Yeah, OK. The Apollo's not the find of the year. But it has dignity, it's in reasonably good shape.

You, my friend, just need some oxalic acid for the iron oxide, some ultra-fine steel wool and metal polish for the aluminum parts, new cables, chain and saddle, and a freewheel tool to remove the plastic dork disk. A little oil, a little grease, and you'll have a pretty solid bike.

Myself, I like those grips.

Oh, and the turkey wings come off with a screwdriver; a little careful work with a hacksaw to remove the turkey-lever-mounting-nubs, and you'll have normal looking and functioning brake levers.
