I would also expect some moments of real frustration. It looks like the rear derailleur hanger is missing. It's very possible i was hacked off to make give it a cleaner appearance for a single-speed setup. This can be dealt with, but it's just one of the hurdle that will have to be crossed. There may also be a 27" vs 700c wheel size challenge. Challenges mean money will probably need to be spent.
headbadge did not change a lot very similar to the 82 i had., concur more likely early 70's
I would bet it did not have a derailler hanger, but a claw derailler.... (had a 71 or so Azuki that was set up like that and had the diacomp center pull)
forgot about 700 / 27 wheel difference.
doable, but I am looking at it from having done this before and have the tools so to reassess would be challenge for someone who has not
newer frame would be lots easier
