It appears to be an 87 model when compared to this page - http://www.trfindley.com/flschwinn_1...0/1987_10.html

My 87 Traveler's head badge stamp is very light, take another look, then again it could be possible the imported bikes no longer had the head badge stamp. My bike was a Mississippi built frame.

Yet, you did not pay to much and this bike will serve your purposes very well. The Bell tires will be good for you as well, and tubes are pretty much the same, as I was told once long ago, if it holds air, it is good!

I just purchased a 25" LeTour, 81 model, and the guy but these tires on it to sell it ride ready, at 15 a piece, I got a great deal on the bike. The paint is 9.5 out of 10, just the decals are flaking.

I like the decal placement on yor bike as well as the white frame.

Enjoy
