the rust on the cogs is superficial and irellevant
6/7 speed chains are $10
the rear derailer is a completely generic part and any number of used replacements or a $20 altus new will replace it if it doesn't work even though it does work

Rear being replaced is just a pure good thing.

None of what you're saying makes sense. And you're not even saying it for any specific reason, you just in general dislike old bikes. You're lying.

Whereas the trek which is a rider and has a nice replacement nitto stem and new wheel has almost certainly been serviced more recently than that.
