Barbican bike

Hi, I have found a road bike today, wondered if anyone could tell if its crap or vintage It says Barbican on it, but it two other labels on it as well: one with Barbican Cycles Peterborough, the other: made in western Germany.
Has golden color and 5 gear.
Full of rost and dirt, but no damage to frame.

Can anyone tell me what sort of bike this could be?

We need to see photos. Without photos, can't really say anything.

Try posting the photos to a site like imgur, photobucket or flickr, and then post the link to the album here.
