duane041, as far as the stuck parts, of course you'll just have to hope for the best if you end up buying the bike. But as for the frame/fork, I personally think it's a nice one, assuming it's not too rusted or damaged otherwise. What I find interesting about this Voyageur 11.8 is that it's a 4130 frame, with forged dropouts, at a time when most of the other models still had the 1020 steel frames and stamped dropouts. Clearly it was one of Schwinn's best bikes at the time. I think it could be built up into a nice commuter/tourer, or just a comfortable road bike. By the way, and you probably already know this, but the "11.8" designation comes from the complete bike's weight, in kilograms. Good luck-
