Erik D’s 1973 Schwinn World Voyageur

Posted

This might be the best Friday entry to date. This is by far my favorite Schwinn even over the Paramount models (I think).
This is Erik D’s 1973 Schwinn World Voyageur

1973 Schwinn World Voyageur Japanese made Schwinn, manufactured in March 1972 for the 1973 Schwinn model year. First Out Sourced Schwinn The frame was made by Panasonic for the Schwinn Company The bike is ALL original, down to the Bar tape The only reconditioning this bicycle has received has been new Michelin World Tour 27×1 1/4 tires, new tubes and rim tape, new cables, new Gray Matter brake pads. The period correct Belt Leather saddle is Japanese mad. It’s a wonderful saddle; I use them on my other 2 1973 World Voyageurs. The frame has a few minor scratches that have been touched up.

    Eric D., that is simply stunning! And the trifecta of Schwinns is breathtaking as well!!
    I love me a chromed bike, and the one in the middle would fit so nicely in my collection. Has it appeared in the Gallery before? If it has, I must have missed it. I do recall seeing a chromed Varsity…..I think? The World Traveler and World Voyager were nicely made Asian Schwinn’s and rivaled/beat much of what Chicago was doing at the time, imho.

      …oops, just noticed that I’ve been spelling World Voyageur wrong(Voyager) all this time. Had to double-check that the World Traveler wasn’t World Traveleur, my bad!
