I like marine waterproof bearing grease as do many on this list. You should also clean and lightly lub moving parts as in chain, shifters and brakes.(not the pads) Spray or squeeze a drop of Teflon lub on pivots and wipe of excess. Bike looks very clean so it should not take much........RIDE.

yea the guy that had it lubed the chain with what looked to be 90wt gear oil or something all ready cleaned and lubed the chain and stuff but still need to pull the crank and wheels off he had the back brake so tight it was rubbing constantly on the wheel got that taken care of gears all shift and work great rode her 16 miles today rides very good .
