Just scored a pretty clean late 77, probably 78 black Schwinn SS. Tange Champion 2 and Suntour ARX. It has those wonderful longish curved DT friction shifters, ala "aero?"... They look sharp is all I know. It's near the bottom of my size range at 58, but a fistful of post brought the leg extension into an acceptable range. I need maybe 10-15mm more extension in the stem, but otherwise fits pretty well considering. Most likely Panasonic built, with the head lug serial. Headbadge has the model name, and chrome faced forged drops. Rims are Araya 700's. Not quite as fancy as my 85 is frame wise, but I like it. I already had a set of tires, and cleanup will be an easy one. Pic tomorrow if the weather holds, it supposed to pour though. If it rides anything like the Voyageur and SLT, It will be a keeper.,,,,BD
