Another Schwinn Frame ID!
Picked this frame up cheap on CL for some other components, but the frame looks interesting. I believe it's a Giant manufactured Taiwan frame from 1984, but it's got pretty unique lugs on the tubes, and on the bottle bosses, so I thought the brain trust here would be able to ID it. Any help would be appreciated. Head badge is missing.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks I was thinking the World Sport/World was one of the Taiwan bikes of this age. It had some nice Sugino cranks and some cheap Fixie wheels that I put on a track frame and sold to a college student. Made off pretty well on the build and flip, but now I need to come up with a plan for this frame. Not terribly light or nice, but cool lugs and might trip someone's vintage "trigger"
thanks!
thanks!

Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.
Why do you think it's a Schwinn? (I'm not saying it isn't; but I didn't seen anything in the pix that would make me guess it was.)

My guess is it is an 80 schwinn sprint series based on the crown shape on the front forks as that is the patten used in the 80 sprint bicycles. Frame were manufactured by giant which gives the year but not much else.
