Let me know if its worth a restore shaking my head already lol.
Its got knee saver bars and some decent brakes gyro etc..
Needs a acid bath for sure, just checked 2001 model so 24 years old?

Looks like it could be a great bike, lots of original parts - do you like polishing?

Cant see anything on there to really worry about. New bolts and bits and it'll ride again.

Tbf you are right most rusted stuff is bolts and surface stuff. A few grazes on the paint but can be treated.
I've started dismantling the bars and the front stem is not oem the A-stem or round GT one used to slip alot so its been switched for a odyssey front loader at somepoint.
pumped up the front tyre seems fine except needs new spokes, decent rims straight.
Dave Voelker was a cool guy back in the 90s this model was top end compared to another model called Bestwick?
Anyways the large bolt and washer is done needs a new Ahead star I think that's what it's called should be 1 1/8" size ?
not restored newer components before but hey I think it's well made to be saved
