I agree with Don. Probably a hi-tensile steel frame and an overall weight of 28-30#. In the earlier Boom period Euro bikes like this were common. By the later 1970s and early 1980s Japanese made bikes had taken that market over.

2.99 for a ridable bike is on the one hand a great deal. On the other side though if you're looking to resale you might get $10.
