'90 or '91 Schwinn Voyageur. Got it for cheap, and it was a mess. I switched it over to 700C wheels, put a new chain, riser bar, horribly mismatched color-wise bartape (probably will cover w/black cloth tape), Brooks saddle, bell, platform pedals, rack, panniers and fenders on it. Rides Smoove.
Just finished my own '83 Voyageur build up--what did you use for brakes for the conversion to 700c? Also what tire clearance have you got on there?

The only brakes I could get to work were Shimano CX70's, but I had to modify the pads with spacers not supplied by Shimano. Interested to see how you fared with yours.
