It's not what you would call a restoration but the Eagle is shinier and it's rideable.
The RD was bent so I found an old Shimano RS that worked. I got a front wheel for free on CL. It needed bearings and a skewer, tire and tube. It got new brake cable and housings and bar tape.
I couldn't find a saddle that fit the strange seat post interface so I had an SR 26.8 in a drawer that went on with an old cheap saddle.

I rode it today and it rides pretty good. It's a 24" frame and I am 6' 1" so it does fit.
I didn't weigh it but I am guessing 26 lbs.

The paint won't ever be great but there are no dents and almost zero rust. I will have to repack the BB tomorrow. It's clicking.

T-Mar, I will get you some serial numbers.
