Oops, I haven't checked in here for a while. The baskets are just Wald folding baskets, you can find them online for about 17-20 dollars. My lbs carry them though so I just picked them up there. Thanks for the compliments guys, I love that old tank!
That is a great explanation of the shifting noglider, thanks.
Doohickie, this is the suntour rachet shifter I am talking about. Make sure if you get one that it is schwinn approved
