who needs a touring bike???
 

i hate to do this but i really want a road bike. im thinking about trying to trade my 91' schwinn voyageur its a bad ass bike but i really want something a little more agressive. any offers?

size?

I've got a World (Schwinn) Voyageur already so I'll put up my usual craigslist email:

Pics?
Size?
so forth?

58cm
new bar tape.....that i got dirty yesterday with grease
also will put original pedals with straps on the bike and original saddle that has small tear in it but is still in good condition

suntour RD, FD, and barend sifters
tange frame and fork

a tad to big for me! will it fit you treebound?

Upper end of my range, plus I've already got one or two (or three, or ????) 58cm bikes. Someone will come along to make a deal on it, thread will probably migrate to the sub-forum though.

Looks pretty nice, and it's my size. I don't know if I have any bikes that I want to trade at the moment.... I'll need to think on that....

What do you mean be road bike? To me, your Voyageur is a road bike, what needs are you looking to suit?

yes it is a road bike i agree. i was looking for something with a little bit more agressive geometry, 700c wheels and something a tad newer if possible. i love this bike it has been great to me. im only 5'10'' and have no problems with the size.

It isn't newer but I've got a very nice 1987 Bianchi Brava if you are interested. It is all original except the bar tape and is full Shimano 105 with 7 speed index down levers and aero SLR brakes. I'll have to measure when I get home - it may be a 59cm but I'm also 5' 10" with 32" inseam and it fits me fine.

It has a very sweet quick ride and I had no intention of parting with it but I'm a sucker for touring bikes. If you have any interest PM me with email and I can send pictures and more details. It is a very dark blue with celeste graphics and cables. Nice narrow semi aero rims with 20c tires.

Otherwise I have a 23" 1984 Bridgestone 400 but it is set up with index barcons so probably not a whole lot different feel than your Voyager.
Are you in the UP or lower MI?

Howell is near Detroit.

I don't live too close or anything, but I might be interested if you haven't gotten rid of it yet. Sent a PM. Let me know.

bump...

You know this forum is not for selling bikes, right?

yes i do. i want to trade not sell.

I'm going to lock this. There is an appropriate forum.
