My =only= two-wheeled ride is a 1974 Raleigh Super Course. It is heavy by modern standards (28 lb/13 kg), but has performed nobly through many years of urban commuting and recreational riding, and rides and handles very nicely. The only parts that aren't original are tires (of course), brake shoes, shifter and brake cables, pedals, the front derailleur, and a spring in the rear derailleur.
Heck, yes, fix it up!
