What kind of Schwinn is this?

Don't remember ever seeing one like it with the curved top tube. Would like to find one some day but I'm saving for a new tandem right now and can't get this one. What is it?

Wellllll, it's a small, slightly fuzzy picture at an oblique angle, but it looks like one of the little 15 inch "camelback" frame Varsities. Looks like somebody has put a matress saddle and upright bars on it, but retailed the original dropbar brake levers.

Best,
TCs

Thanks TCS. Sounds like it's too small for me then. It's on CL.... http://austin.craigslist.org/bik/384683509.html

The "camelback" Varsities were 17", but that was measured the Schwinn way (to the top of the seat tube) so they were closer to 16" c-t.
