I'm gunna bend the rules a little to try to win this epic message board bike-off. This isn't my bike but I'm the one who did the refurb. 1980 Schwinn Voyageur 11.8. And for the youngin's taking notes, yes, this is a touring bike. That's what Schwinn sold as a touring bike prior to 1982 when they started putting triples on them then 1983 when they switched to cantis.


And as a bonus...



These are clearly in their "barn fresh" states but I can assure you that they are ridden by their owners now, but when I threw down the gauntlet I didn't mean to limit the challenge to only bikes with appropriate touring mileage. Just stock paint and period parts.

Also the Taiwanese Raleigh USA is very tight, but I prefer black, being a new yawka and all... Also I have an anatomic touring I saddle on my voyager now so...
