I probably owned that very bike! Or not. But it's possible since that was my first "serious" bike purchase at age 13 in 1972. That exact color too. A neighborhood friend who got me into distance riding was a Peugeot rider, as were his parents. He sniffed at my choice of Schwinn mostly because of the Japanese parts and the hefty 32 lbs in contrast to his French outfitted UO8 and it's 27 lbs. The World Traveler was a very smooth riding bike, that much I remember. I rode it for two years then upgraded to a wonderful (black with chrome and gold trim, dB chr moly frame, 26lbs, including pump) Belgian made Browning grade V, outfitted with some very fine French, Italian and Japanese components.
