Robert B’s 80s Schwinn Sprint

Posted

Digging into my pile-o-schwinns once again, I found this practically NOS Schwinn Sprint sent in by Robert B.

Mid 80s Schwinn Sprint

Mid 80s Schwinn Sprint

This is an 80s era Schwinn Sprint (Taiwanese?) My father had bought it about 20 years ago for $50 and never rode it. It was then stored until spring of 2008 when I decided to start riding it.

It needed new tires and tubes, as well as cables and a tune up. Oh, and lots of cleaning. I still haven’t gotten around to polishing up the shiny parts, but it rides good and thats what counts.

Thanks Robert

      Sure you’re welcome to submit your bike here.

      I don’t have price guide for Schwinn Sprints, It was/is an entry level road bike and price can vary dramatically depending on condition and location.

    I have the same exact bike in my basement (same color in fact). I’m the original owner and I’ve decided to fix it up,just don’t know where to start.(That’s why I stumbled upon this site!)The bike is in pretty good shape as is, really just needs a tuneup. Any idea where I could find a manual and/or a parts list with specs and such? Thanks.
