Lauren A.’s 1983 Schwinn Traveler

Posted July 10, 2009

Our final installment and winner of this Friday’s Trifecta of Travelers is Lauren A.’s ’83 Traveler.  Lauren and fellow OTS’r Alicia certainly take this color coordination thing to a whole new level.

Thanks for a great week of Schwinness.  Next week we’re taking some time off Schwinns to hit on some Randomness.

1983 Schwinn Traveler

i found this the other day for $80 (and an EXCELLENT free spirit for my lady friend for $100). in LA bikes are often on the higher end of pricing (from what i can tell). anywho, got this one and with about 10 minutes of tweaking, was ready to ride (although, nort too far as it still had the original tires from 83!). so, new tires, tubes, etc, new seat, and new grip tape. removed the “decals” as they were pretty jacked…and here she is. tis the summer…

cheers,
lauren

Thanks Lauren
