Thanks for the help - I am armed with old toothbrushes and rags and will be picking up some chain lube and degreaser. There are some trails that are paved and turn into gravel/dirt roads, so I think it'll be worth it to clean up my Specialized and ride out there to explore and scout out the roads for my road bike! I think this steel bike is probably at least 10 pounds heavier than my new bike. No idea how I was able to lift it into the car in the past!
