I obtained a 12 speed Scwhinn Traveler recently. It's in very good shape except for a few cosmetic nicks and chips and rides great after I replaced what looked like the original dry rotted tires. The serial number is D899864 and it was found under the bottom bracket. I read that this may be a Japanese import, it looks like late 1980's to me. I was thinking maybe the code meant April 1988 or 1989. It has 27" aluminum rims not sure what the frame is made of the but the whole bike is pretty light. I was thinking of using it for a triathlon, I'm not a superstar so it would probably perform just fine. Is this a decent bike? It rides fabulous, but again I'm not a serious cyclist or anything. Any info would help.
Thanks,
Bill
