DEFINITELY it needs a look over. All things that need lubed done. brakes and shifters checked, and maybe also lubed with a super fine oil. Most likely failure points are the 1) tubes, then 2) tires so pump em up. check for tire cracks and seams coming apart, a short test ride, and go from there. I've seen some old bikes have no problem and others mucho problemo
tires are pumped up but i'll have someone help check the brakes and shifters before i take them for a ride. i've noticed some light rust on the cables

Thanks again
