Bikes: Fillet-brazed Schwinns

According to the book "No Hands" Schwinn dealers had a lot of problems with bikes coming out of Greenville, which seemed to be mostly the mid-range models. It seemed that both the low-end (made by Giant) and high-end (made by Panasonic) bikes fared much better quality-wise. I agree the Voyageurs were fantastic, they were Panasonic made. It seems Greenville was capable of producing decent bikes though, I love the Cimarron and the Super Sport of the time seems to be highly regarded and both of those were made in Greenville.
