Asked local builder Bill Stevenson if it could be repaired & he said sure, but had to be worth his time. Picked bike up with 2 fingertips & said "This is definitely worth my time".

Bike was missing brakes/levers, front derailleur. Did have a Shimano Crane rear DR in good, not great condition. I found NOS SunTour Superbe front DR & Superbe Pro rear DR plus NOS Galli brakes + Zeus shift levers at a local swap meet. Touched up paint, Cyclemondo decals, CLA bearings, added new tires & rode the bike for a while, but it was just slightly to big for me, so gave it to my oldest son(@ 6'1", he just needed a longer seat post). He took off the hammered fenders, pedal clips & straps, so I moved them to other bikes along with the simplex seat post and Brooks saddle. Don
