Classic & Vintage - Schwinn Voyageur

I have a black schwinn vaoyageur in great shape except for cracked decals no rust or dents anywhere. Im curious about what it is worth. It has shimano atlas downtude shifters and derailers. A SR stem and SR custom seat post as well as sakae custom road champion bars. It has dia compe breaks and levers. It has a sugino supermaxy crank and 27" wheels with shimano via ed hubs. It has a chicago schwinn sticker as well as a sticker saying double butted 4130 chomoly steel top and bottum tubes. Any idea of the value of this bike.

Sounds like a Schwinn Voyageur 11.8 ?? Maybe from 1978 or 79?? Hard to say the worth without a picture.

any additional info would be appreciated cant take pics no camera 78 or 79 sounds just about right

What numbers are stamped in the metal Schwinn headbadge?

it has 1080 stamped on the badge

Sounds like a 1980 Schwinn Voyageur 11.8. Is it a 12 speed? meaning 6 gears (gold colored) on the back and two on the front?

Hey does your frame look like this one on eBay?? item - 3693585467 ???

Yeah its a 12 speed and it looks just like the one on ebay except the decals anrnt in that good of shape and it dosent have such a long stem.

There you go! You have a Schwinn Voyageur 11.8 made in April of 1980.

i have the same bike.............the "11.8" is the frame weight in lbs?

Ha! You wish! That is the total weight of the bike in kilograms which is about 26 lbs.

A 26lbs voyageur? Is that possible? Every old Schwinn I've picked up has been 40lbs-ish.

Oh yeah. The Paramount, Voyageur, Superior, Volare, Super LeTour, Circuit, models were all under 30 lbs. There were more too!
