When I got my old Schwinn Sprint, the only thing in decent condition was the frame. I wanted to do it low budget ... but ended up buying new wheels, a new crank set, new BB, new cog and new chain. Still only ran me about $210 total. The saddle is crazy uncomfortable, but I've learned that I really like drop bars.

Yours looks like it's in way better condition. My Sprint is circa 1978. Solid steel frame. I'd imagine yours is solid, too. I'd keep the frame in case you later wanna make it a throwaround SS/FG. For funsies.
