Schwinn world tourist bike
This 1981 Schwinn World Tourist was left abandoned outdoors for over a year, yet still looked like it had barely ever been ridden.
This bike was made by Giant in Taiwan, distinguished by its G serial number on the right dropout. I almost thought it was humorous when I found the Chicago zip code stamped as part of the design of the head badge. I thought the trend of showing one's "pride of originating from a depressed post-industrial rust belt city" with an area code or zip code was more of a recent thing, but apparently not; evidently, it started even before Schwinn's Chicago plant fully closed.
This bike had a 5-speed Shimano derailleur drivetrain with a nice thumb shifter (as opposed to a stem shifter) and nearly-pristine steel wheels, but for whatever reason, I felt it was more appropriate for me to fit this Shimano Nexus 3-speed alloy wheel set. I've had this pair of wheels sitting unused in storage for over a year now. The rear wheel, hub, and shifter came off a damaged bike - I had to find a new rim with a similar ERD and lace it onto the hub with the original spokes. The wheel was super easy t

Above: I recently finished this Schwinn World Tourist. It has a "Giant" built lugged frame. It was a little rough when I found it. The original rear fender had a home-made rear strut on one side. While it did function well, it looked a little rough. Fortunately I had a copper colored fender set left over from an old conversion (commuter to racer). This bike is kind of odd. It has a front FF Crank set with a rear 6 speed freewheelsprocket group. And a Normal friction rear derailleur. Not the hard-wire cable operated positron derailleur you would expect. Kind of a mixed bag for sure. Oddly enough it seems to work fine.
Above: You might recognize the Avanti rear bicycle rack. It was on the Fuji S10S that I restored not too long ago. The rack did not fit into the plans I had for the Fuji. But it sure looks "right at home" on this classic style commuter bike.
Above: This is the Brooks touring saddleremoved from the Ivory colored Raleigh Sprite. Why would I take the Brooks saddle off the Sprite? What happened is this. Another old Raleigh came in. Kind of rough, but sporting a brown Brooks leather touring saddle circa 19Schwinn World Sport Bike Value Schwinn World Tourist Bike Cheap
