Great
site, thank you for hosting it.
Here
is an old frame with up-graded components, both old and new. The
serial number JG806795 indicates a manufacture date of 7/73; however,
the color scheme suggests a 1976 model. I assume it is a superior
model as it has no kick-stand braze-on like the sports tourer model.
I rebuilt the wheels with new spokes. The tektro brakes are a big
impovement. I have some better brakes levers to add; then cable
to the rear brake and that should be most of the project.
handlebars/stem:
GB/schwinn
weinmann rim (27 x 1 1/4) with schwinn (normandy) deluxe hubs
dura ace free-wheel
dura ace crank and sachs FD dura RD
tektro R556 brakes suntour friction shifters
saddle: ideale 90
