It completed Seattle to Portland once, but is dated & heavy by current standards. I would be happy if it found a new home with people who would ride it.

The biggest question would be whether you are comfortable with old-style friction shifting using bar-end shifters. The current pedals are old Looks (including a pair of the original Look model) compatible with currently available Look cleats and, the wheels are currently running schrader valves rather than presta.
