Your LBS is full of crap. That bike is a good candidate to learn bike mechanics on, being relatively simple. If there's a bike co-op near you, that would be ideal. Start by accumulating parts that will work with your bike, which has 2x5sp friction shifting, DiaCompe centrepull brakes (Schwinn branded) and 27" (630mm) wheels.

Examples of parts that will be appropriate
This SunTour rear derailleur
These SunTour stem shifters
This Izumi 5sp chain
And if you need tyres, these Panaracer Paselas in 27x1 1/4".

Everything else should be easily obtainable, and the brakes should work fine after disassembly , clean and re-lube.

edit : linkages

I think you'll find that specs are hard to come by as this isn't a top-end bike of the era, being just another steel-framed semi-racer style of bike that was common at that time, with stem shifters, suicide levers and centre-pull brake calipers, axle mount derailleur and entry-level crankset.

That being said, the bones are there for a nice riding weekend bike or short-hop commuter. Doesn't really justify any sort of significant investment, and I'd recommend just refurbishing it as is without upgrading (although a part of me wants to replace that crankset). Disassemble, clean and then regrease the BB, hubs and headset and fit new ball bearings into the BB, hubs and headset (easy to find, take your old units into a good LBS and they'll provide replacements).

Then throw a new 5/6sp chain on there and all new cables (Jagwire are fine). The only thing I would recommend though, if there's going to be any significant riding, would be to replace the brake pads with KoolStop Continental brake pads which will make a significant difference to your braking.

Finish off with some nice bar tape, job done. You'll also need a 4th hand cable puller to do the brakes properly.

good luck..

edit : forgot to mention tyres, those look pretty crusty. Would suggest throwing a set of Panaracer Pasela on there, good tyre at a reasonable price and comes in gumwall for that retro 70s aesthetic

Yes, replace. You can probably get away with the tires but it's best to replace them if you have the cash. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001CN6NMS/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 are some great ones if your tires are 27"

You probably need new tubes. If you want new tires, too, i recommend http://www.amazon.com/Panaracer-Pasela-Tire-Wire-Gumwall/dp/B001CN6NMS/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1461084524&sr=1-1&keywords=pasela+27 . These will work on "hooked" and "hookless" rims, and you're right on the pressure; max is around 75- 80 psi.

Does a magnet stick to your rims?
