Mark M.’s 1983 Schwinn Traveler

Posted

More from the depths of my inbox. This is a 1983 Schwinn Traveler sent in by Mark M. Mark was even kind enough to add to our collection of backsidagarägdorotypes.

1983 Schwinn Traveler
Springer saddles, drop bars and marbled wrap: a dichotomy of epic proportion.Something tells me that seat post is a pure as the driven snow.

I picked this up on a trade for a CCM 12-speed that was too small for me. It was pretty rough before my TLC.

Thanks Mark

    That’s fun to see on this site, thanks. It was sold shortly after these photos were taken, it was hard to let it go but the offer was too good to pass up.

    I love the bike, But I don`t get the touring saddle with the
    drop handlebars? That`s the second one like that I have seen
    today.

    I set it up intending to keep it, but I put the original saddle on it when I put it up for sale. I love the touring seat, especially when I never ride in the drops….check here to see my main ride set-up.. http://velospace.org/node/1363 Thanks!
