Greetings C&V,
I'm a newbie to the forums and biking, but I'm finding these forums as a great resource. I hope you're all well!
I recently purchased an old Panasonic Sport-500 from a contact of a contact. I paid $100 for it and just had a couple of questions for you guys. Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place.
- Did I get a good deal? It came with "Look" Clipless Pedals, an Axiom Computer, an additional sprocket on the rear cassette, Aero bars, and an Old Leather Saddle.
- What's the best way to go about Rust Removal? I tried some Steel wool and I felt like I made little to no progress

Here are a handful of pictures:
