More like 35 years old- it's a early/mid '70's "Gas Crisis" bike. Cheaper than cheap, nothing high quality, the kind of bike you could spend $100 fixing up and then only be able to sell it for $50. Besides, it looks like the frame's bent... although it's hard to tell with the blurry photo. Hold the camera steady, willya?

I'd name it "Grey Poupon", for it's mustard color. 
The crankset says it all. Very basic model. It may ride nice, but it's not special.
