Schwinn racer?
This bike is for sale on market place, the seller don't know what model it is but calls it a racer. Can anyone tell what model it is from this photo?

To some people any bike with drop bars is a “racer” to other it’s a touring bike.
it might be a Voyager of some sort? I would think this is a Sport Touring type bike.

The 1977 SCHWINN SUPERIOR also came in that color and similar graphics such that it looks nearly like the Voyageur's little brother.

It's well worth the $35 if it's sound.

Not my cup of tea, but that is a great price for a nice bike --- i'll bet its already gone though - looked like a garage sale setting it was in

I would travel " many miles" to get this bike!!!
I couldn't get the 35.00 out of my pocket fast enough !!
I always negotiate when buying items....NOT this time
