Hi,

I recently aquired a 1973 Schwinn World Voyaguer (Lugged 4130 Chromoly/ Dura Ace Cranks eys and a 1976 Super Le Tour 12.2 (Lugged 4130 Chomoly). Both bike needed very little to be ridable, are in great shape and great riders. Total cost for the bikes? Under $200. Both bike look greta and "retro cool" Show me a a 4130 frame ANYWHERE today, let alone lugged and Chromed lugs (World Voyageur)for effectively a $100? Go check the Surly web site and see what they get for a frame of 4130 that is not even lugged! Many of the old Japanese schwinns are great, hand made bikes thatare often overlooked, so good luck! Also check in the links in the sticky in classic and vintage here for the schwinn lightweight data book link. It will give you a bunch of great info!
