@eeuuugh, I came very very close to buying that exact model Azuki as my first bike-store-purchased 10-speed in 1975, but I wound up instead going with a Dutch Batavus Tour de l'Europe instead.

@ryansu, that is a stunning Trek 520 and I am deeply jealous! That is a lovely bike!

@deux jambes, what size seatpost does that take? It looks a lot to me like a Jeunet 620 except for the integral derailleur ear, sort of like a Liberia or a Stella, too ...

No pix this time, but I have successfully cleaned and repacked the BB and the headset and am grateful for bearings in retainers. A shocking amount of crud came off this bike, but it is interesting to see how little it appears to have actually been ridden. Finally, I will need to find the proper removal tool for the Caimi (later Everest) freewheel, as none of mine fit.
