Ha! Yes, when I picked it up most of the driveline was covered with a nice layer of hardened yellow. Everything turned out surprisingly well - hardly any wear. The previous owner said it was only ridden a few hundred miles then stuck away in the garage. He only “rediscovered” it because he’s moving. I haven’t ridden it yet as I’d already heard crunchy bearings in the back.

Here it is after a good cleaning/lube/tune up. I have a number of bikes with drop bars, so I decided to try Origin8 Tiki Bars.

Nice re-fresh.
I will venture a guess that those brake levers may get angled downward a bit for comfort/ease of pull.

Probably! I was just about to take it for a shakedown and it started raining…
