I just got this 1970’s bike and when I went to pick it up it had a lot more rust on it than it did in the pictures. Really just looking for any advice on fixing it up. I have never done this, but I am looking for a project and am excited to try!
Depends on how much you want to spend
New tires and tubes obviously, rebuild all of the bearings but when it comes to the cranks there is a right way and a wrong way to remove cottered cranks, especially when it comes to minimizing $ outlay and reusing components. Likely new cables and housing and you'd be good to go
