Introduced in 1976 the Pro Tour was a Mid-range touring bike with the Schwinn Paramounts being high end models. the Pro Tours were well regarded and considered a great touring bike for the money. In the literature section there is a page of a Bicycling Magazine review of the Pro-Tour done by the infamous Gary Fisher.
Over the years the Pro Tour had Tange #2 tubing (known as Champion #2). Early models were only 10 speeds but featured wide range gearing. Rather than cantilevers, these models featured center-pull brakes with the calipers mounted directly to brazed-on frame bosses to reduce flex. Later versions (Pro Tour 15) featured triple cranksets and cantilever brakes.
