I'm a huge Mississippi Schwinn fan. Their work was pretty impressive for mass produced frames! I have a Tempo, Prelude, and Le Tour. All are well made, and nicely tapered lugs. Two are Columbus Tenax, and the Le Tour is True Temper. The Tempo has the nicest frame of them all. Upper seat stays are wrapped onto the seat cluster, simply beautiful work IMHO. A Schwinn Voyageur SP would be a great choice in my eyes. A true touring bike, that would also make a comfortable unloaded commuter. Canti brakes can't be beat in my opinion. The late 80's to early 90's Schwinns are both underrated and under priced for the moment. Very affordable.,,,,BD
