Entry level. Steel rims and handle bars, stem shifters, claw derailer, nutted axles, safety levers removed from brake levers. At least it doesn't have a cottered crank.
You could date it with the SN.

I know the tires are meant to read "Racer One," but this earworm was planted in my head nevertheless. So, I'm passing it along.

Agreed not worth much as it sits. If it was ready to ride with new bar tape, chain and sorting out the cables, then maybe worth $125 once all that was done.
