...Anyone need a really tall Tenax Schwinn? Solid price for an uncommon machine.

Schwinn Prelude 1986 12 speed Road Touring Bike in excellent condition. Frame is gray Tenax Columbus tubing in excellent condition only a couple of small nicks. Has D.A Compe brakes, Suntour Cyclone de-railers. Sakae SX sprocket, Sakae Custom Road Champion handlebars and neck. Weinmann rims made in Belgium 513-630 27 x 1 1/4. Tires made in Japan in good shape, The Schwinn Chicago headbadge in great shape with serial # lightly stamped on badge 0506 (2-19-86). Has 2 bottle holders and what looks to be a odometer hooked up. Only a couple of issues the chain is rusty as well as the 2 gear cables both minor. The seat is a San Marco and showing some wear. Probably could use a fall tuneup.
