Default Pics of my old schwinn traveler 111

I bought this bike 5 years ago and it looked like it came off the show room floor,it was flawless....It got all the scratches from laying a pile with other bikes and parts....I road it a few times and put it in the back yard....now it is rusting and the paint has faided....It is a japan made schwinn....Good for a engine kit????

I think a motor would fit just fine on it but the tires/rims should go.....way too thin....will feel like riding down a railroad bed....a better seat and bars and tires/rims should make that a perfectly great bike....

Laters,

Try ebay or craigslist to get an idea. Schwinn is a good name, thats an old school road bike so Id just look and see. Its amazing what old bikes are worth. When 1 pops up here on craigslist in denver it doesnt stay on there long, someones buying them.
