We have had a rash of Schwinn’s around here lately, but Bob’s 1981 Traveler is certainly the largest Schwinn featured in the OTSG. Unfortunately, this Traveler has been de-speeded. Wisely, Bob kept the derailers, so when the 10-speed trend hits full steam he will be able to reapply the desirable accoutrement.
Here’s the first of my OTS’s. This is a 1981 Schwinn Traveler, which I bought brand new as my first ten-speed. Many miles have gone by on this. Since this photo, I have defaced it and it lives on as a single-speed. I kept everything that came off of it, so it may be reborn as a ten-speed at a later date.
More OTS’s coming. My garage has more pie plates than The Pie Hole.
Thanks Bob
