I originally found this bike at the Salvation Army, cost, $30.00.  I’ve done alot of work to it, basically an entire rebuild.  I bought it intending to flip it, but now that it’s done I really like it and would love to keep it!!  Alas, I will still have to part with it, “No room in the Inn”, but I thought before it’s departure I would share it with the other Schweads.  Hope you enjoy, and appprove?!  This is a fully reconditioned 1985 Schwinn Traveler, blue in color, constructed of Double-Butted 4130 Chromoly tubing with approximately a 32.5 inch “standover” height. The top tube and the seat tube are both 23 inches. The following items are brand new, white-wall tires, tubes, brake and derailleur cables and (white) housing, “Bontrager” white simulated cork handle bar grip, seat post and seat. It’s original equipment consists of quick-release wheels, (Weinmann), Suntour AR front and rear derailleurs with stem-mounted Suntour shifters, Sugino cranks, chainrings and bottom bracket, Dia-Compe brakes and levers, and “braze-on” cables guides, and a chain hanger for easy rear wheel removal.  I have been involved in cycling most of my life, approximately 30+ years now. I have raced both road bikes and mountain bikes, and through discovering my own preferences in set-up and maintenance, (and my wifes belief that I’m just a little bit anal . . .), I have become quite the mechanic, even building my own wheels, with just about any tool I could need, for most any bike, especially vintage stuff.  A hobby, a passion, a lifestyle, an addiction . . .  you decide
