You don't have to guess; there's a link to a website with full photos of the bike:

Stronglight 93, I think. The crank closeup detailing the rusty chain is novel. NR hf hubs. Kind of unrideable with no front tire, and no front derailleur; the fact that the front wheel is on backwards is probably immaterial. Repaint w/no decals.
