Looks like it could be a Super Mirage with the 2040 tubing and alloy (Weinmann concave?) rims, but the full-chrome fork might be one that had paint but has been stripped, or it's a replacement. Those graphics and the crank are something like typical of the mid/late '70s, but color is a bit of a riddle: it might be "champagne gold" one of the Super Mirage colors used in 1979.
Whoa, auchencrow beat me to it...
and another oddity is the sidepull Weinmann brakes, OEM would have been centerpulls.
