Ebay Score: Schwinn Traveler and Nishiki Sport for $10.

These will be my first clean up / restore projects and appear to be of late 70 / early 80's era bikes. The Nishiki needs a new stem and possibly a headset as well. Both will need tires and a good lube and tune. Considering repainting which ever frame I like more and decide to keep. I looked at both last week, though didn't give the Nishiki as much of a look as it wasn't till later that the guy offered to throw that bike in on the deal if I won the Schwinn auction.

Right now off for a victory ride on the mountain bike. Oh, and a victory ride too since I got my acceptance letter from the University of Texas at Dallas for a MSCS degree! Wooohoooo!

P.S. - not sure what I'm more excited about. Getting a master's or scoring these bikes.
