Great! I'll work on getting it functional right away. One of my LBS does custom frames and might be willing to straighten it if the ride turns out rough. Thanks for all the help.

With the head tube as it is, is it ride-able? Is there a way I could get it to correct it just a little? Or should I move over to framebuilders at this point? lol

Oh well, guess it's time to start salvaging parts. Count my losses and use this as an educational experience (I think I can ID Peugeots in my sleep now).

Ah, thank you for pointing out that size. I'm not great at eyeballing it. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like it, I am not 6 foot.

1983 Schwinn Traveler - good idea?

So a local ad has what I believe is a 1983 Schwinn Traveler for sale. They're asking $40 and it appears to be in fair condition. Is it worth it? Have I found a good deal?

I'm just starting again.

But it's exactly 1 miles to the nearest grocery store. But it's around 5.3 miles to the whole foods store.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I think flat would be good for a while as I get my endurance back to where it was. I remember someone told me about Big Creek Greenway and I promptly forgot.
