Heck YEAH!!! If your old bike fits you- get it clean, tuned up and checked out and lubed....and RIDE it!
They made pretty nice bikes back then! It must be a nice steel bike too.

But do have your bike store check out the brakes and tune the gears up for you. You want to be safe and you sure don't want your brakes to fail on a downhill, now DO you?

Get that steel baby back on the road!
