The shop where I worked back then brought in a few of those in assorted colors, along with the matching down tube shift levers. The levers were nicely curved backward for the last 1/4 or 1/5 of the length. Smart design, making them less likely to snap than if they'd been straight all the way to the top of the lever.

I don't remember there being matching front derailleurs. Took a while to sell through them, I think.
