Dobbs,
Have you looked through the Catalog section on this Site. Photos would be a BIG help for List member response.

1. The Schwinn front derailleur is surely not original, and the rd also may not be. It's easy to change bike components, and Suntour derailleurs for some years were the standard replacement choice.
2. With cottered cranks it's not an '83 Tour de France. It could be a '70s Gran Sport Deluxe.
