Derailleurs right...probably has Open "C" shifters.

the Weinmann dimpled 27 X 1 & 1/4 rims
Paramount Track Stem w/GB Bars with scalloped
and engraved mount area.
Not so good:
Much later Stronglight Cranks (99?) and pedals
(Original on mine is a Steel cottered Stronglight)
Much later Weinmann Brakes/black plastic a giveaway.
(Original on mine are early Weinmann)
Saddle not close...
Mine had a Lycett, but I have Seen Brooks and Ideales

The seller write this, "Hiya,Charles thanks for the info,I am not an
"Expert" nor "Authority" of old
bikes...It was recovered from an old bike shop here in Toms River NJ that
opened in 1960(Schwinn Dealer)I gave the details as I see on the bike,The
bike is clean,very clean,no road grime,paint and striping look good,real
good,was very dusty,cob webs,etc..If the bike does not meet your
expectations as in my ad description or additional pictures,please DO NOT
BID if is not what you like...,I have sold other items that people
receive,switch parts,say it was not what was as listed and return the
item...I have responded to at least 50+ emails from other enthusiest's and
they like what they see,they all say 1959 and they all seem very
knowledgeable and interested.
Thanks for your interest and questions prior to bidding and making the
purchase....
Regards
Jeff."
To me it does have the correct parts or paint job but I am not an expert on
