That's so cool. What kind of drivetrain is that? Don't put money into restoring it - it's a $10 bike, man! How much more perfect do beater/commuters get? I'd redo the tape, but that's about it.

That's 8-speed Dura-Ace, an annoyingly proprietary but oh-so-cool groupset. Its shifters are probably some of my favorite ever made in terms of style, and if I were in your area I'd probably snap...

You don't see any road bikes out there with just a front brake, do you? A non-fixed single speed is the same as a road bike, except with only one gear. It's just common sense. No reason not to.

If that's not fixed, you probably should throw on a rear brake- no reason not to. Otherwise, cool build, bet it's light. I'm using those same wheels on my single speed conversion.
