Robert B’s 80s Schwinn Sprint
Digging into my pile-o-schwinns once again, I found this practically NOS Schwinn Sprint sent in by Robert B.
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.
