Nice Bike! I’ve renewed a bunch of vintage Treks, kept 3 of them. First off, ride it for awhile, see if you really love it. Right off the bat, I’d install proper Dia Compe hoods, in black, and tape the bars to match the saddle, lube everything, replace tires if ness. Once you love it, then strip it down to frame, remove rust, touch up the paint, I’d have the frame professionally repainted, if it’s a keeper, but that’s just me. Then clean, reinstall and re-lube the components, replacing the chain. Great find, enjoy!
