1972 Schwinn Sports Tourer 10 Speed Opaque Blue

Description

Description:
This bike is a KG106465 Making it an October 1971 frame however the opaque blue paint was not offered in the Catalog until 1972.
This bike has been completely rebuilt.
This 50-year-old bike functions 100% and is close to 100% original.  I replaced brake pads, cables as needed, tires and bar tape.
The Campy Gran Turismo derailleur shifts clean through all gears and has had light usage.
The bike rides solid and smooth.
This bike has the original drivetrain, Skip tooth Cluster, Campy GT Derailleur, TA Crank Set, chrome plated spokes and correct wheels, making it a rare survivor.
Rebuild specs:
The frame measures 24 inches from the crank center to the top bar.
The stand-over height is 33 inches.
The frame is straight.  The frame was cleaned, polished then waxed.
The bike was totally disassembled to the frame.
All parts inspected and worn parts replaced with identical Schwinn parts.
All four bearing sets, the bottom bracket, front axle, rear axle and head set were solvent cleaned, bearing cones, cups and ball bearings replaced if worn, and re-greased and tightened to spec.
I use only Schwinn replacement cones and bearings.
All aluminum and metal parts cleaned and polished where needed.
The wheels get the same treatment.
The brakes, brake levers, gear shifts, derailleurs and pedals are cleaned and oiled, then reinstalled and tuned.
New:
White wall Tires, Inner tubes as needed, rim liners as needed, brake pads, wire cables, white Bar Tape.
Wire cables are replaced as needed with Schwinn NOS cables and Cable jackets are cleaned or replaced if too worn.
Saddle:
Brooks B-15 original in black.
The saddle is ridable and in good shape for its age.
The top has some small cracking but is not objectionable.
Saddle has been conditioned with glove oil.
The decals are Original in good shape and 99% there.
Paint is an 8.5 out of 10 and has the normal nicks for a bike this age.
I did a small amount of touchup on about 10 small nicks to seal the paint.
The touchup paint is a good match.
You have to look hard to find it.
The bike has been tuned and rides very well.
The derailleurs shift through all gears.
The bike rides "Tight",
