Post Body

Bought this for next to nothing and took it to a bike shop to get serviced (picking up later today). The shop said that it looks like it has been stored stored indoors for a very long time; someone probably put in their garage and forgot about it. They said that I shouldn’t need to replace anything because everything looks functional on it - Just very old.

Every internet search I’ve made on the subject suggests that, due to their age, I should replace some items regardless of their condition (Wheels, Tires, and Cables were typically recommended). What would you replace on a bike like this, and why?
