Great collection. 1985 Voyageur SP shouldn't be too hard to find. They pop up in the sales section often enough, not sure about minty though.

LOVE the video and your gorgeous collection !!!!!
I just sold a MINT 1973 Sports Tourer !! 25 inch frame
I have another , but in a 22. Too small for you
You should, if you already have not, join the Schwinn forum.
It's not as diverse as this great site, but many Schwinn experts over there.
Great job on the video as well !!!

Great collection and video, as bikemike73 alluded to, you need a Sports Tourer in that collection. A Tenax tubed Supersport would fit in too.

very nice collection. Over the weekend, I acquired a '72 Paramount very similar to yours from another member and I also have several other mostly 80's models.
I was in Des Moines Saturday and stopped at the Street Collective, they had two really nice Schwinns - a Circuit and Prologue, may be worth checking out. I am not sure what size they were other than too small for me but they looked like they could have been showroom models

they may have been 23"/58 CM, I don't think they were 21". Unsure if these models had a 22" version, but if they did, that would be my guess.
They were not 24" or 25" or they would have come home with me. But they were very nice. I think the Circuit was red with the chrome fork.

Ok, did you say the orange Superior was Eddy Kron's? Eddy was quite the accomplished rider in the 70's-80's. His uncle Theo Kron was coach of the US Olympic cycling team in '72 and '76 and a fixture at the Northbrook velodrome. I will never forget Theo's german accent and his calls to the starting line.... "Chewnya's to the line, Seenya's on deck".
