Some of those Schwinns were built with Columbus tubing and were vastly underrated IMO. The turkey wings could have easily been added at the dealership per customer request so I wouldn't count it out based on that. 700c's, 126mm rear spacing and ample braze-ons are what I would be looking for. A quick cheap powder coat takes care of condition. Might be a diamond in the rough! Can you verify the model name and look for catalog scans?
