I was wondering the same thing. I would like a close up the shifter to see if they are index. I bet they are and for some reason just in friction mode. I believe that type of housing was used before the SIS housing came out a few years later.
I agree it is a pretty nice looking bike and great deal $50 bucks, the rims seem to show the bike has been used very little
