Why couldn’t you have posted this last week when I was in Tucson?

squarenoise 

Rats! You coming back anytime soon? I'm honestly not in a rush to sell it.

rccardr 

Not until at least next year…

squarenoise 

Boo, Hiss!

squarenoise 

Bump for price drop.

Price Drop Bump.

Would also consider offers for just the Frame & Fork.

Very surprised this is still here.

Yeah, I think these Voyaguers are one of the more under rated/appreciated touring bikes around, even by me. I had a 1990 model for awhile, sold it to help fund a Miyata 1000 project, then picked up this 87 to fill the void of regret for selling the 90. Now I'm in a similar boat and may very well have the same regrets if this one sells. If it doesn't move soon, I'll probably pack it away for awhile and revisit a rebuild at some point.

What someone (perhaps the OP) needs to do is send this to Gugie in Portland and have him do a 650b conversion.
Awesome frames, punch way above their weight class.

Would be nice but the repaint needed for canti posts makes so many shy away from it. Can't blame them. If you don't care about the looks that's another thing. That being said, for anyone reading, these can fit wider tires than many touring bikes of the era as is.

I have an 85, which as far as I know is identical except for mine has horizontal dropouts. I slid a set of 650b in mine and it handled 42's but not 45's. It will easily take Pasela Protite 700x38c but those tires only measure a bit more than 35 on the rims I have. What did you end up with on Schwinnderella?

Edit to add-My Voyageur rides quite comfortably on the Paselas though I am considering moving it back to the original 27" wheelset just because.

polymorphself 

Yeah, can fit 35s with fenders and ~38-40 without on my 86.

Gugie- who is seated across the room from me- says he did not dimple the chainstays on Schwinderella.
I know I put 44mm Compass tires on Velocity A23 rims on that bike.
BUT it’s possible that the A23’s resulted in a tire that was actually somewhat smaller than the nominal 44mm size.
I’ll check my files at home when I return.
