[QUOTE=Gthoro;10652684]Must be my weekend for '86 Schwinns. After picking up an '86 World Sport at a garage sale yesterday, I followed it up with this Passage from Goodwill today. It seems to be in great shape with the exception of a snapped shifter cable, and it even came with a Cateye Astrale all for the low price of $19.99.

Shifter cable will set you back about $1 the next time you put in an online parts order. You found an all original '86 Schwinn Passage full-blown touring bike. It has double butted Columbus Tenax frame tubing. The forks are hi-ten. The Voyageur had the chromo forks. It also has a triple chain wheel (15-speed ... 3 x 5), cantilever brakes, 3 water bottle cage mounts, pump peg, 40-spoke rear wheel, and quite a few other nice features. Looks like you even have a Jim Blackburne rear rack (that's easily worth the $19.99 alone). Looks in great shape, probably not used much. Super small size frame, which is something many women who tour and commute would need. Most likely built at Schwinn's Mississippi plant, and carried an M.S.R.P. back then of about $310 (what I've read) ... doesn't that sound quaint? Comparable touring bike new today is well over $1,000. These used are selling for the $300+, depending on condition and market. Full-blown touring bikes are also more difficult to find, since there were relatively few made. Major score!

Great deal!!!!
I had to pay alot more for mine!!!
