Schwinn Sports Tourer.This is a rare find. I think it is a 22 inch frame. It has a TA Crank, La Tour Derailler, a Brooks Saddle, high flange hubs and many other goodies. I believe it to be a 1972 vintage bike hand made in the Chicago Factory. It has a milage indicator on the front hub and it says 289 miles and I believe that to be the true milage. It is very clean with only a few scratches, the tires hold air and the brakes work. The saddle alone is worth $80.00.

Wow, that's one of the nicest STs I've seen, recently. I suspect it is a '71, since most '72s came with Nervar cranks. The TAs are more desirable. Schwinn was pushing so many bikes out the door in those years that they often had to source parts from multiple manufacturers to keep up with production. The rear derailleur may have been replaced, as the Campy Gran Tourismo steel changer that came on the '71s and many '72s was a real boat anchor. Your bike is a real time machine.

This is such a sick cruiser! I know that these frames edmonton are the best quality and will last you so many years and are super lightweight. All my friends have Trek bikes and love them. Everything from the street bikes to downhill bikes are awesome.
