This bike has been a work in progress for more than a year. I originally picked it up for 0 on craigslist in great shape, rode it into the ground, and recently decided to restore it and convert it to fixed-gear. Mostly out of spite for the awful Dia-Compe brakes and Sun tour derailleurs that came with the bike.
Here is the catalog stat-sheet if you're interested in this bike: Traveler Specs
But that site has an archive of all the old schwinn catalogs. Kind of fun to look at.
Let me know what you think!
