In great shape. All original parts. Road it a couple times back in the eighties.

Paint
Did you notice the gouges in the paint look like crates in the pic?

If you look at the lower-right of the chain ring you'll see the second inner chain ring. Appears to be a half step setup with the inner ring perhaps four teeth less 9or maybe even two) than the outer.

However, with a close tooth count like that I'm sure it was a 'quick shifter' up front.

I think the wacky here is the position of the derailleur cage. It is too far aft of the chain ring. It should fit where the radius of the derailleur is concentric with the radius of the chain ring. Or at least closer than it is.
I am not sure why the fit is so bad. It needs to be further up and forward.
That said. It is a nice bike with a really elegant old steel crank.

Je comprend pas.... that's not very wacky. En fait, it's rather nice.
Je le mettrai dans le rubrique "are you looking for one of these".

Probably confused with what he read on the label of his protein drink powder, that he probably snorts.

Not a Schwinn; check that dropout, the massive slab of sheetmetal with crimped stays is the sign of a cheapo Huffy/Murray. Oh, and slightly overpriced.
