Oh, that's opened up a few old wounds. When I started cycling, two of my mates had those bikes and they used to leave me for dead 
Good luck with the rebuild!

yeah, what was up with the sizing on mass market pipe ten speeds? i got given a huge peugeot as a kid, maybe the bike shop staff used to tell parents to buy the biggest frame possible.... "he'll grow into it".
for maximum effect, these bikes should be ridden with the saddle just above the top tube, and the bars through 180 degrees for that postman position

It'll make a fixie after a bit of file work to that short drive-side dropout. It'll never make a cool one.pogle":36caw4uh said:
I put tens of thousands of miles on one of these (the next size down though) - first with derailleurs, then fixed, then singlespeed, and finally with a Sturmey AW. In hindsight, a better frame might have justified all the effort.
This might make somebody a reasonable hack or runabout, but a strong or heavy rider will want a stiffer frame, especially in this size.

its going to the home of a needy gent who has a fast growing son in need of a larger frame.
