Here
are a few images of my new (old) 1981 Schwinn Voyageur 11.8. I acquired
it in pretty rough condition but that was fine because I knew I
could bring it back to life. The bike was stripped to the bare frame
and completely cleaned and lubed. I did have to replace the wheels,
tires, brake pads, freewheel and chain to make it reliable for the
long haul. The handlebars\tape were replaced for comfort. The saddle
came on the bike and although it isn't the original it really is
a nice accent (seamless Italian red leather no less). All other
items are original. This Schwinn is a very solid performer. Photos
were taken during a very wet ride, and it was great!
