I'm the Wiz, and nobody beats me!
Wondering what this somewhat nice custom was originally. The front derailleur is set up for a flood zone.

Reminds me of those early Japanese made Le Tours. I think they had stem shifters and chrome wheels with a small decal at the base of the seat tube that said lightweight.
 
I looked up the serial number and it is a 6/2/60 frame. I am guessing someone found a 1960 frame that had been stripped and to replace the missing items bought a later Continental/Varsity and moved the parts over to the 1960 frame. Parts bike was probably late 1960s / early 1970s. Roger

I was confused by that serial number also, but if you look at the head stock in the 4th and 5th pictures, you can just see that it's a lugged frame, not electroforged.

I agree. Someone bought Continental decals of an early 60’s. A franken bike for sure.

I'm pretty sure its a June 1980 Traveler (built by Bridgestone in Japan) in Scarlet Flame, with what appears to be a crankset from the previous year's model (Traveler III).
