Hi All,
My 1973 "Le Tour Schwinn Approved GT 300" RD came on my Sports Tourer, not a
Paramount. With respect to the kick stand, Raoul Delmare wrote:

I seem to recall that Schwinn had a purpose built tool for removing their
kick stands. It compressed the spring while you extracted the steel stand.
There must be some Schwinnites out there who still have that tool.
More on the GT 300: On the Sports Tourer, the Hurret dropout's derailleur hanger has a notch to receive the GT 300's spring return clip. Was this done on the Paramount's Campy hanger, or was a different spring clip used on the GT 300?
