Hey Mike don't be afraid of the bike, they were well made and can be turned into great riders. I was lucky enough to find one as well, not as crispy as yours, but needed a lot of work, had to use the blow torch to take apart. I also thought my chain was toasted, but turned out fine at the end.

My rear hub turned out to be a coaster.

Good Luck!
