[FC] new FC owner

[* Greenbrier Goon *]

Welcome aboard!

I would recommend re-doing the brakes if it has been sitting around since 
1987.  Don't forget replacing the hoses.

Wider rims and tires may make it a bit safer than what was on it originally. 
  I run S-10 rims that are about 6 inches wide.

Those cables may need to be lubed after so many years out of use.
