For a while in the early 1980's Schwinn produced some nice asian lugged bikes with super-skinny lettering, much like this bike (think Schwinn Prelude). However, this bike appears to be decidedly french, with simplex stem shifters and a motobecan-esque crank case, so I'm guessing it's a late 1970's motobecane or peugeot. I'm guessing that it's a B73 (4-rail) after-market saddle in the advertisement.

P.S. That bike looks great. The girl ... what did she look like again? I never notice the girl, i'm too busy looking at the bike, and it drives my wife nuts to have to compete with a garage full of bikes for my attention ..
