Thanks TugaDude

OP: Looks as though you've your work cut out when it comes to cleaning up that bad boy - but it'll be more than worth the effort.

I do note the rear caliper is missing its 50th Anniversary center pivot nut, which will obviously affect the final value of that component. The small pics make it a bit difficult to determine if that's corrosion or grime (or a mixture of the two) covering most of the components.

Having said that, there's still plenty of cash to be realized from the parts. The frame looks to have suffered major paint loss on the seat tube just above the BB shell; as a result, it will either need a repaint, or a lower-than-normal asking price (if selling) in order to move it on. If keeping it, it'll also likely need a good oxalic acid bath to address what appears to be rust spotting on the fork crown.
