Interesting -- perfect half-step gearing was stock that year.

By sometime in the early 1970s Schwinn had changed to 14-16-18-23-26, with that big ugly 5-tooth jump right where I want a gear. (I run 14-16-18-20-23-26 6-speed on the Bianchi, which works very well with either 50-47 half-step or 50-42 1.5-step.)
