New here, just picked this up at a car boot.

If you're using this for Uni / around town you might want to think about keeping or replacing those mudguards. I cycled to college every day in Devon in the early '90s and if there's one thing I was grateful for it was mudguards keeping the rain and dirt from the road away from me... In my opinion they suit this bike anyway.

Keep that saddle too, my Turbomatic is the most comfortable saddle I've ever used and that one looks to be in good nick.
It's a nice frame which when you've moved on from Uni will build up into a top class machine with a decent groupset.

The Huret rear mech' must have been the most awful cheap looking derailleur i've
ever seen on bikes, so you need that changing to something rather better quality.
Chainset has to go too !
Oh nearly forgot, its a good carboot find.

I often wonder how many derailleurs Sachs/Huret must have manufactured. It was the industry standard entry level derailleur for years. I agree they were cheap but they did their job, and in many cases are still doing their job
I've seen much more modern derailleurs by Shimano cave in under a lot less use.
