Subject: [CR]Schwinn Continental identification

A friend of mine has an older Schwinn Continental frame that he wants to put on ebay, but is having trouble dating it properly. To the best that I can tell, the frame is likely from the 50's or early 60's as it was originally fitted with a suicide front derailleur, which I believed was only used up until about 1962-3.

The decals are quite nice. The serial number is GO 15594

Can anybody tell me what parts would have originally been fitted to this bike and a more precise estimate of the correct age?
