I was sort of wondering the same when first looking but wasn't familiar with the bikes of that era. I was thinking it didn't look like it could handle a large capacity tire but was unsure what the norm was for cross bikes of old. I never connected the triple crank with being opposite of true old style cross with a single ring...Good observations.

Aren't the crankset and front derailleur from the early 1980s?
