New to the forums; pleasure to be here. Thank you for your time.

I was helping my father-in-law with some yard work at this new place and found a bicycle buried under some weeds and brush against the house. I recognized the Simplex gear from an old bicycle my grandfather had given me years ago--beyond that, all I can really say is what is printed on the bike: Jeunet, and then something along the lines of French Comet(?)

I've been looking for a bicycle for a while now just to go exploring (moved to a new town this week) but I have been reluctant to invest in something new. The two gears on the Simplex are brittle and have broken nearly all of the teeth, many of the parts and bolts are rusted, and I have no idea what condition the tires are really in at this point.

I've never fixed a bicycle, but I have a mechanical mind. Is it worth the time?
