Thanks guys. I have been looking for one of these factory demonstartors for a looooong time
.Very excited about it!!! Took a rumage throught the shop for the correct derailleurs. Took all the spraypaint and rust off of it. Cleaned and repacked all the bearings. Installed the correct derailleurs for a 1972 Schwinn Continental and head badge. Added N.O.S. Schwinn cables and housing. Put new ruber caps on the legs,installed the Scwhinn grip for holding and polished the heck out of everything!
These demonstrators came with a short crank and a wooden handle for demonstation purposes. Mine apperently left the building a long time ago. So I had to fab. one up.
What a super fun project restoring this!!With all that beeing said, Here it is as it would have been given to the Schwinn dealer!!
