1986 Schwinn Voyageur Geometry
Does anybody know, or know a good source or even someone I could shoot an e-mail to regarding the geometry of an '86 Schwinn Voyageur, the touring model made by Panasonic, not the 10 speed style Voyager missing the "u"...thanks

I really like how my 1984 Voyageur (non SP / Champion tubed version) rides and the geometry is the same as on your 1986 model

but I have been a bit puzzled by the 74 seat tube angle on these
Voyageurs as I thought most touring bikes from this era had used 72 or no more than 73 seat tube angles.
Any ideas on the reasoning behind a steeper seat tube angle on a tour bike?
