Bikes: '38 Schwinn New World, '72 Peugeot PX-10, 78 Raleigh Comp GS, ’80 Peugeot TH-8 tandem

A neighbor has a Vista buried under a pile of junk on his porch that he said he took to Europe in the late '70s. Claims it 'was a fancy bike back then...' He keeps saying he'll unearth it for me, though he can be rather.... slow moving. I'm feeding his cat while he's on a fishing trip and I at least could see the handlebars sticking out of the pile (it quite literally is a giant pile of junk....). It's got Shimano Fingertip Control bar-end shifters, so at least I don't think it's 'entry level'... I think the shifters are likely stock, as I kind of doubt he would've done much to modify a bike, but I might be wrong on that. Though if they are, I wonder if that might help ID the model? Anyway, more to come...
