Everything is very dust/dirty but I can see that after a complete cleaning I'll have a nice vintage touring specific bike, of which I have been watching for.
This pic is of the the original CL post as I have not taken pics - like to admire as-is till I get time to work on it. Unfortunately its not of the business side so I'll get some of that side.
The serial number is 6B21351 and is stamped on the lower center of the headset. Sticker says Columbus and it has rack braze-ons on forks and rear. It has biopace crank and canti's. Brake levers say GC(?) and DR's are shimano with no model visible.
That's a great bike.
The GC means "Gran Compe." That's the premiere brand for DiaCompe. The best levers with the best finish on them.
If you got the panniers and handlebar bag with it- those are good bags- price those out for new ones these days...
I love my Voyageur, I'll bet you'll love yours!
