the chainwheel is cool for sure...but the RD is a Huret Allvit...if you think it's cool I bet there's some slicks that'll sell you a box of these for what ever you'll spend...maybe they'd make good bottle cap lifters if they weren't so greasy 
The bike doesn't seem anything special but... it sure is clean!

If the Brooks saddle is not included, well then forget it!

At it's introduction circa 1960, the Allvit was a fine derailleur that shifted competitively and could wrap plenty of chain. Its reputation has been sullied by the fact that it was slapped onto so many bike boom Schwinns and outlived it's performance level. The earlier versions tend to fetch pretty decent money from collectors.

It's essentially a Raleigh Sports (offbrand though) with a derailer drivetrain. Might be a Dunelt/Triumph/Robin Hood Racer (yes, that's what they called them).

The paint looks nice, and the chainring is cool, but those lugs are quite graceless, and scream "gaspipe" to me.

But I don't own a single one of those typical "Schwinn Approved" Allvits nor do I want one on any bike I ride. I like the tiny ball bearings in the pulleys, though
