I finished modifying my Kool Lemon 1972 Schwinn Super Sport, so I thought I'd share some pics. I'm certainly not a slave to original specs, particularly when the best part of what's original is the frame itself and the low-end components were intended to keep the original cost down. Before and after shots below, but more pics here: http://picasaweb.google.com/lerner.n...winnSuperSport

I ditched the original crank for some temporary Campy bling (while I search for a Shimano 600 crankset), put on Velo Orange alloy fenders, Nitto Promenade bars with thumbshifters, Shimano 600 "Arabesque" FD and RD (which work perfectly), Brooks B15 saddle. I'll likely go with drop bars at some point as the cockpit is a bit crowded.
