Schwinn Voyageur SP
I bought this Voyageur at a bikeshop sale Sunday. It is all there without the saddle, rear derailleur and pedals.
The only part i don't have is the rear derailleur. It should be a Shimano Deore, but I am not sure which model, so I can search ebay or Bike Coop.
Any help?

Looks like a 1982 model year. Here are some links to look at:

Early Deore DE-10, but personally I'd put a Suntour Vx GT on there. If you want to stick with Shimano, I would get an XT, DX, or LX from the early index era.

Agree highly on this. A Suntour VxGT on this is era correct, and proper for the aesthetics and ethos of this bike. On Shimano, an old Long cage Crane is another appropriate but older choice. Indexed when new, this was not. Suntour ARx is a bit newer than the bike, but also another superb choice, within 3 years of the bike's build era. The two Suntour derailleurs I mention are solid, reliable touring derailleurs used in the Schwinn World Voyageur/Voyageur era. Nice classic Schwinn Asian built classic here.
