My relevant experience has been with Schwinns of that period, including
a 72 Sports Tourer and a 73 World Voyageur. Both of these came with
SunTour barcons and Simano Crane rear deraileurs and a wide-step front
chainwheel. The 'Tourer had 54-40 steps and the W.Voyageur, 52-39. The
shifters and rear deraileur always worked great. It was the front
derailer -- the Shimaino Titlist -- that never seemed quite up to the
task. Rick.
