James, that's all stock...that's a Shimano Crane (later to be labeled Dura Ace) derailleur made to Schwinn's order. And those are relabeled Weinmann brakes. Set up correctly this all works well so don't jettison any of it!

Hey All,?

Thanks for posting the tips. I have a pair of record pedals to overhaul. These babies need it. They have very little use but the grease has turned to cement.?

It's not one of my bikes. A friend of mine was given this Paramount touring bike (circa 1971). The Campy parts are pre-CPCS. The rear derailleur is marked Schwinn Le Tour, but it looks just like a Campy Rally. The brakes are also Schwinn center pulls. gad-awful things. The shifters are mounted to the head-set and would look at home in a 1965 Mustang. The frame has Nervex lugs. Overall I don't think the bike was ridden more than a couple 1000 miles. I'm just overhauling it so my friend can ride it (his other bike is a Lance Armstrong Trek).?

Cheers!?
