Those can rust out.Everything else is just the standard stuff about look at old bikes. How is the suspension?  Is it sagging?  Does it have any rebound damping left?  Are the seals good?Does it have a lot of wear on the brake rotors?Anything that looks like it will need replacing soon?</blockquote>
