Dont know if this will help.
Beautiful bike, love the color
 
Formerly of Dunns Bike Shop in Reading, Mass. (now an REI), apparently distributed several custom made schwinns for the U.S. racing team. This is hearsay from a former Schwinn Rep. of that era that now works at Richwagon in Delray Beach, Florida. Going to require much more time
 
Don't get me wrong--nice bike but I just find it hard to believe that bike was raced on the Tour. V/r Shawn
 
more digging. this frame was built by Don Maitland

Correct. Don Maitland built frames for olympic competitors. This may have been a training bike. Hence the serial number.1982 was a weird year for bikes in general.
 
The build date is stamped in the head badge. Bad picture, but I'm seeing the last number as a 2 so 1982.
