Identify This Schwinn?
I found this on CL and all the posting says is "Schwinn Bike". Anyone know what model this is?

Bikes are okay, I guess.

Steel rims and what looks like a cotterless steel crankset. That last part is pretty unusual. Definitely low end, but that crank should help isolate which model and year it is. Not worth investigating unless you absolutely must know. I'd pass unless I wanted that specific bike.
'88 Caliente, maybe.

That's definitely not a LeTour. I agree with [MENTION=399166]thumpism[/MENTION] in that it is probably a Caliente except that I think it is an '89. Note that was the absolute bottom end of the Schwinn lineup at that time. I'd take a classic electro-forged Varsity over that bike any day!
