This could be a Rat Rod bike winter build off bike. There is a whole lot of building material in the skip on the other side of the fence. Bikes should be about having fun. Someone is having fun.

Don't know my Schwinns. First gen Positron used 2 cables for back and forth. Second gen Positron II used a single rigid cable like a mower throttle. All the indexing was in the RD. FFS (Front Freewheel System) was a separate thing made in both 1 pc and 3 pc cranks. They often showed up together, but by no means were required to, and bikes often will have one without the other.
