Grey Ghost
Wore out three sets of tires already!
After making a couple mistakes on replacement parts I want to make sure that I buy the correct rear derailleur for my 1969 Krate 5speed.
Which model is correct?
The GT510 and the Sprint models don’t look like I remember the one that came on the Krates. I seem to recall that the face plate was pretty plane, maybe only a”Schwinn” stamp or something. They were actually kind of ugly compared to the Shimano/Campy derailleurs of the day. They definitely had the Huret look about them, some looked like Allivets, re-branded Schwinn.
I am looking for a relatively clean one and don’t want to get the wrong thing, even if it works. The SunTour Vx that I currently have works, but it’s not correct.
Did Schwinn use different derailleurs that year?
Anybody know the correct model for my bike?
Experts chime in please.
