And I almost think I can see the ends of the stem-mounted shift levers they used...though it's hard to tell if those are downtube cablestops or downtube shifters.

I'm actually spending more time gawking at the tuck&roll Kustom bass amp.
I liked that Kustom amp too!

There are a lot of things pointing to this being a late 60's Schwinn Super Sport. The biggies being the round headbadge, one piece crank, alloy QR wheels, chrome pedals with clips and straps, and spacing on the downtube decals. The chrome fork was used on the earlier versions of this model.
