The Traveler finally got the exact same (73HTx74ST) frame angles and 700c wheel size as the Paramounts, Tempo, Circuit, etc. in 1989.
It came with a 6s SIS Exage gruppo having very nice levers/hoods.

I also had an '86 model Traveler with ~72x72-degree geometry, and kind of like greatscott said, the earlier ones were dog-slow feeling.

Here's my '89 model, gad even has short-reach calipers:
