Really nice bike and you have a fun project. You'll want new cables and housing, new chain, and new tires. Plus you'll want to stop the rust in some fashion. This is an excellent bike to restore.

Hard to find, popular touring bike, expensive everywhere. You did well in LA! Enjoy!

Thanks guys! I've done some bike repair here and there, but this is going to be a project. Looking forward to it. I've wanted one of these for a while.

My ebay search sent this to me yesterday and I saw it was my size with local pickup. I won't have to bid on it now. Have fun with the project.
