The image above is all the info this Craigslist has to help determine this bike! (The text only states: "every thing works, medium sized road bike") I'm wondering if this could be a steal for only $40? And due to this add, I don't think the current owner knows anything about bikes. So haggle him down to $20 could be....

So far, I think it's a late 70's or early 80's roadie from the brake levers and chrome trimmed fork. I've asked him for a picture of the top tube text to get a model name.
