Really surprised this thread hasn't gotten a lot of traction...

I accidentally bumped into a cherry 1984 Schwinn Voyageur SP. This is a Panasonic built bike- the frame is a Columbus SL and SP mix. This bike was built with THE finest, top of the line in road, touring and mountain bike components made in 1984. It's also interesting that this is a completely Shimano free build. I've swapped a few things out here and there (the handlebars were bent in shipping), but it's really a fantastic riding bike. It has an entirely different feel from my Trek tourers, but it's a great riding bike.
