GOOD GOD, MAN! That is a fillet-brazed super sport, made with butted cro-mo tubing, in beautiful shape. You can tell by the bullet-point seat stays and the tubular brake bridge in your photo (the EF schwinns had round-end seat stays and the bridge was made from rolled and folded sheet steel).

You put that brooks back where it belongs!! You have a sweet prize. I've been searching for one for years.
