>>1931626>This bike has been sitting in storage for around a decade and I plan on riding it regularly. I'm going to take it to a bike shop tomorrow to get it tuned up, but is there anything I should ask for specifically so that it's safe to ride again?That's a highly desirable classic bike. I would be careful about which shop you take it to.
Firstly, if you want to ride it regularly, you will want to change the tubular tires. Tubular tires offer a god tier ride quality, but they are expensive, difficult to install, fragile, and you have to replace them every time you get a puncture.
They are totally inappropriate for most riding.
I suggest you post about it here:
https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/And ask for someone locally to you to sell/trade you an appropriate clincher wheelset.
Also ask what bike shop locally is recommended.
You should research what replacement rubber hoods will fit those brake levers. The hoods need to be replaced with the cables, so this should be done before a basic service. The Cane Creek ones are good quality, and cheap, on ebay fit many different types of levers, sometimes with a small piece cut out, so just trying some of those might be a good first bet.
You want to service the grease/bearings in the bottom bracket, headset, and hubs of whatever wheels you use.
Recable the bike. And get new brake pads.
Check the chain for wear, and replace that if necessery.
You could also service the vintage freehub, but that is a specialist job that only some shops would undertake. It is classically not advised, but now, they are rare and hard to replace and worth keeping up with.
I would also service the pedals if they are rough or loose.
You should also clean and proofide that saddle.
The frame can be waxed and the lugs polished with autosol.
The derailers and brake calipers can be partially disassembled and serviced.
