Almost trashed Matsuri

I scored this fine little machine (4/1979) a few weeks ago. I couldn't let it go to the trash bin. Hubs and BB serviced. No high end goodies, but I think its cool little machine.

Sunshine front hub
Sansin rear hub
Suntour Le Pree rear derailleur
Suntour Spirt front derailleur
Sugino Idol cranks
Serial number SSD26390N (Thank you T-MAR)

The LePree derailleurs are obvious replacements, as SunTour didn't introduce them until circa 1984/1985. Here's a better, almost overall picture, from the OP's previous thread.

Horrible gel saddle

My daughter hated the gel saddle. I hunted around the garage and found an old specialized one I saved for some reason. I think I may have a minor hoarding problem when it involves old bike parts. Anyway, she rode it to work yesterday after I added front and rear lights. She was smiling as she peddled away. Later, she texted me and said the bike was heavy, but she really liked it. She asked me if we can source a period correct saddle.
