Ignore the stupid fenders and light:

I like the light! Retrofit a Halogen bulb in it and it would be the bomb!
Some of the voyagers were built by Panasonic some by Giant. The Giants have a Giant sticker on one of the rear drop outs. If that has short near vertical drops outs or the Stainless clad it is probably a Panasonic. NICE bike excellent price if it was like that when you found it.
