Speaking of Schwinns, I once bought a Schwinn S/S Tourer (used) in the late 60's (Super Sport frame, TA cranks, Huret Allvit derailleurs, Normandie hubs) - that may have been Schwinn's first exploration outside the single-piece crank outside of the Campy-equipped Reynolds-531-framed Paramounts. By the time the bike and I parted company (divorce) there was no moving part that was original. Campy headset and hubs, (I build my own wheels). Regina Oro 13-31 rear gears, Constrictor Asp 36/36 clincher rims on Campy high-flange hubs, 60-56-52 chainwheels on the front, Campy NR shifters (and the rear handled the the necessary takeup without modification).

Damn, that was over 40 years ago, and I miss that bike to this day.....
