I got this bike for free from my uncle. He got it in the 90s I believe, and it is a 1983 I think. Anyway here are the parts.
It has a suntour mountech 5×3 drivetrain, with some sugino cranks and generic toe strap bear trap pedals.
It has dia compe cantilever brakes that work quite well.
All it needed to ride was new tires and tubes, and I had to replace the derailleur. One of the springs broke after riding it for a few months.
I had a few questions. What derailleur can I replace this one with? The spring on this one is super weak and the limit screws are maxed out, and it's starting to go like the old one. I was thinking something that had the same thread would fit since it's just friction shifters.
Also, what kind of bags should I put on here? I was thinking something with bright colors to match the bar tape, something like a frame bag or seat bag. Also does anyone know where I can get a nice quality rack for the rear? It has the mounting points for front and rear racks.
