Whoops ... I missed the part about how the frame had no cranks etc. This may make it not worth it ... and this coming from a hopeless romantic when it comes to old bikes - esp. Schwinns.

I'm converting a Schwinn Traveler. It is heavy (but lighter than a varsity), but it has half-decent cranks and other parts.
What's up with the Traveller? I have a pair of Traveller IIIs, one men's, one women's - Made in Japan and I can't figure out when they were made. The serial number system seems different for the ones built in Japan. I wouldn't really care but I am trying to sell them for charity and I would like to be able to tell people as much as I can about them.
