It's not a restoration, it's a preservation!

I work at two bike shops, and at job #2 one of the employess bought a 1969 Schwinn Lemon Peeler to display in the store. I'm in the process of cleaning everything up and reassembling it. I may need help with parts and will also list them in the wanted section. I really need a rear derailleur; the one on this one was twisted like a pretzel and the jockey wheels have chunks missing. it also needs a seat and nothing for it needs to be mint. any help is greatly appreciated!

I've got a functioning derailleur on order. I still need a rear tire, front tube, a "non-bent" seat post, a seat. I also have to somehow remove the pivot bolt from the springer fork yolk. The head of the bolt broke off. I can get the fork arms off of it but the rest of the bolt is stuck inside the yolk. So it looks like some cutting and drilling is in order. The stem bolt also broke off with the wedge attached to it. I can hammer it out of the steer tube, but only after I get the pivot bolt out. Meh.
