Pics of my old schwinn traveler 111

[fall_down_stand_up]

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....

I was thinking the same thing about the ride and im not willing to put the money into it for upgrade parts....

Well there ya have it I guess.....there are so many bikes out there that make much more better builds for less money....

If that bikes not your cup of tea clean it up and sell it then use the money for other toys or kits.

What would a schwinn traveler 111 (made in japan) be worth cleaned up????

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.

Sorry to break it to ya, but the only Schwinns that are worth anything are the Sting Rays & the cruisers. Eveyone lists Schwinns like yours for a lot of $$$ because they think "it's a Schwinn, it's gotta be worth a lot"... but they really don't sell for that much.

Also, did anyone bid that much for the bike on ebay? or is it sitting there with zero bids?
