3/11/2023 0 Comments Schwinn s carbonThe bike has a couple slight scratches on the down tube shown in the pictures, some at the fork tip, but elsewhere it's shiny like new. The frame is a 19" that will fit an average size woman. The bike is all original- cables, components, even the handlebar tape- except for tires. The bike has been gone over mechanically and works great. Best of all, it has one of the early Shimano Index shifters that"click" from gear to gear, and is numbered so you know which of the 6 rear cogs you're in, this has become the standard for all bikes today. It also has alloy handlebars and stem, quick release hubs, and nice alloy brakes with safety levers. This one has the better ones- it has aluminum rims with aluminum hubs- not with cheaper, heavier steel, it has an alloy crank with replaceable chainrings, and a partial cromolly frame- not the heavier all-steel type. This was one of the better examples of the Schwinn World Sport- Schwinn made bikes with this model name for many years and it had its ups and downs. But this bike is clean and original in every respect except that it has fresh new 27" tires installed. Anyone who has been watching Ebay for a vintage road bike- here's a bike that shows almost no sign that it has ever been ridden! Perhaps it was ridden.
