Today the guy dropped it off.
It is a Suteki brand bicycle. Little bit of looking around looks like is was a sears brand bike and sold for around $200-$400 in the early 80s.
Steel frame as I suspected, "Tough Lite Steel".
The tires came with it, but they look a little worse for wear. Probably just pick up a couple of new cheapy ones. No tubes either. The front wheel looks fairly true, I haven't looked at the back one yet.
Chain is there but a little rusty. Probably need to replace that too, but not as high priority as some things.
Back break pads are wrecked I will need to replace them.
Frame..sizing is best described with a picture..

I figure the frame weighs about 20lbs
Wheels are 27 x 1 1/4"
Few cosmetic problems here and there. But not in that bad shape, especially for the low low entry price of $0.
It looks pretty mechanically sound. I suspect I can get the parts I need at mec.ca for maybe $20-$30 to make is rideable.
