Fillet brazed Schwinn Peloton
Anyone heard of a fillet brazed Schwinn Peloton? Similar color scheme to the ‘86 peloton. Old head badge with the Schwinn name in a vertical oval and a peloton decal on the top tube.

Sounds like a repainted Schwinn Continental from that description. Pics?

I will agree--that ain't no Peloton. They were always lugged (the '80s) and then welded (around year 2000). And the '80s models would have never had the oval badge. High end Schwinns of that era always had their name on a round head badge.

No, fillet brazed. Can’t post pics as I haven’t reached 10 post min required by forum. I thought it might be repainted. Has toe clips and hoods seem to be more modern but shifters mounted to stem. Crown is chromed too.
