I hate to pass along bad news, this is not a Schwinn Sprint from 1975. The 74 & 75 Sprints had a bent seat tube, for a shorter wheel base, referred to as a "Compact frame", also available in a Paramount version.

Also, Schwinn did not use lugged frames on the 74 or 75 Sprint model.

Could be a newer Schwinn model, yet uncertain if lugged frames from the mid 80s were applied to the entry level Schwinn.

Still it looks to be a interesting FG with contact paper (?), (picture does not allow for pattern to be presented very well)
