Having had a little time to look over the Unisport I'm pretty happy about the overall condition of things. Lot's of surface rust & degraded rubber & brittle plastic, but much of what is there looks usable.
A big part of this project is appreciating the work of the designers - it's simple and sturdy design, no clutter. With the fenders and wheels off the hubs/brakes are on the heavy side but not as much as I'd originally thought.
The biggest unknowns are old switches (some brittle and broken) and old linear actuators w/o labels (dirty & a little beaten up, will they still work? force, speed, stroke? Who made them?). But overall the restore looks very possible, it's encouraging.
