Sugino VP crank.
Sugino bolt in the lug at the top of the seat post.
Shimano Light Action rear derailleur
Shimano Light Action M5 downtube lever shifters (in the frame)
Shimano front derailleur
Dia Compe side pull caliper brakes
Dia Compe brake levers
Hsin Lung drop bars
Freewheel has 6 gears
Crankset has 2 gears
Either the front or the rear wheel is not original. I suspect that the rear wheel is original and the front was changed at some point.
Front wheel:
Sunshine 4345 front hub
Wolber rim (T410 Alpine, chrome magnesium) hard anodized,
700 x C200 tire
Tube has a presa valve
Sunshine quick release levers
Rear wheel:
Suzue 7 L rear hub
Araya 27 x 1 1/4 rim
27 x 1 1/8 tire (tire size is not the same as the rim)
If most of the parts are original this looks like a late '80s lowerend road bike likely selling the $350-400 range.
However it is very TALL so if you're not well over 6ft it likely is too big for you.
MOre importantly the frame and fork are bent. Personally I'd steer clear of it.
