Way too big, but good flip potential if you want to go into that hobby.

True Temper decal and down tube shifters makes World unlikely. My vote is 1989 Schwinn Traveler.

if it fits and works I don't think you can go wrong for $75

It came in 2" increments, so it is most likely a 23" (58.5cm). It might be borderline too big, depending on your inseam/torso split, but it does have the brake levers in a shorter reach/upright configuration.

FWIW I'm a pretty average proportioned 5'9 and barely fit on my 23" 1987 Tempo. I clear the top tube by a hair with spd-sl cleats on (basically on tippy toes). Someone 5'7 would find the top tube height riding far into their nether regions. That is unless they're all legs and no torso, at which point the reach would be very far without very, very long arms.
