It was a Schwinn kind of day.
Saw an ad on CL for a Traveler for $35. Called the guy and he mentioned he had a few other bikes so I decided to take a look to see what he had. The Traveler is rough from being left out in the weather. Frame is good and looks to be a Giant built frame like my 88 World Sport. Nothing was stuck on it but a LOT of polishing on the aluminum to get it back in shape. I need to get a Schwinn Free hub tool and Pick up a set of tires this week for it.

It dates out to be a 85 23 inch with Sugino cranks, SR bars and stem and AR Derailleurs. Wheels a reasonably true. Should make a good rider.




One of the other bike turns out to be a 1977 Super Le Tour 12.2. Some chips in the paint but it is complete and has every know accessory know toi the Schwinn sales man! Dyno lights, Schwinn labeled speedometer that drives off the tire and rack.

Unfortunately the lens assembly is missing for the head light. I need to hunt one down.

4130 CroMo 25 inch frame, Letour cranks, Shimano 600 RD and a Shimano 60FD. Should clean up nice.

Now why the heck is it so heavy!?!?!! I thought the Le Tour was suppose to be a lighter bike but it is noticeably heavier then the Traveler.



Old guy did piss me off and change the price when I got there. Got him close to what he quoted me but still mad about it.
