1987 Schwinn Traveler

Picked this up off of the great craigslist. I have been commuting a mtn bike for almost 6 months while I figured out what I wanted for a regular commute bike. I looked all around and almost went with a hybrid. After looking all over the web I really fell in love with the old steel bike. I'm also a sucker for restored modified things as well. So this has been by meditation for the last few months. I still have a few more tweaks to make, but I'd say I'm 80% where I ultimately want to be with this bike. I suppose this bike will last a very long time.
