1972 Schwinn Super Sport filet brazed chrome-moly. Not sure why the paint looks bad in these pics its actually quite nice...
Schwinn Randonneuring bend, Schwinn stem.

Bought a bottom bracket conversion on ebay to replace the 1 piece Astabula crank with a TA crank and standard bottom bracket.
Brooks B-15, NOS Schwinn Approved Carridace bag.
MKS pedals and clips, cheapo chain.
Schwinn stem shifters, Shimano Crane GS rear, Thunderbird front (off a Lambert Aerospace) they kind of match.

I have always wanted one of these and found this one for cheap on CL. Set up as a randonneur with TA pro 5 vis cranks (on a conversion kit bottom bracket), and a Suntour touring freewheel. With the low gearing and the elegant Schwinn (GB) randonneuring bars I can ride all day on any terrain. Have put on a rear rack to support the Carradice bag since taking the pics.
