My Pearlescent Orange 1977 Volare that I bought as frame and fork only. I am thinking very strongly about restoring with original components.

77 Schwinn Volare

Picked up this 77 Scarlet Schwinn Volare VL-5 25" frame. Beautiful bike and in very good condition for a 77.

Indeed, I would have kept the one you have if it had been the next size larger!

I'm loving the bike Dean. I haven't ridden it much though because it's been so hot, and I've been riding a new Ironman I picked up. I want to swap out the stem that's on there with the shorter original one you sent with it. I think I'll be more comfortable riding it. I've been hesitant to do the swap because I don't want to have to unwrap the handlebars. I really like the wrap you had on there and I know I could never rewrap it as good as you, or whoever wrapped them.
