road bike frame ( free to a good home)

[picksbigwagon]

I would post this in the free section, but I think this is a better forum. I have my old (late 80's) road bike in the twin cities, my dad wouldn't pitch it, my wife can't understand why I brought it home, anyway, it is a schwinn traveler, 27 or 28" frame, one of the largest frames they make. I am 6'7" and it fit me well.

I am offering this FREE to anyone who can put it to use or find a good home for it. I have a mountain bike (24" frame by the way ) so I don't need or want it. It has suntour components that are shot, the rims are good, set up as a 12 speed. standard pedals, my dad took off the toe clips.

Chromoly frame, light bike, minty green by the way too. I put a lot of miles on it in college, and everything worked well 15 years ago. Of course I think now you would want to put on a new hub and rear derailer, etc. Contact me at:

what I think it needs is:

new derailer

new cables

re wrap the handlbars

new tires, not rims, just tires

probably a new rear hub, it won't free spin going backwards, feels pretty gunky in there

New seat too, it is old and not too comfortable either

great winter project

My wife wants me to pitch the thing, but I know how hard it is to find a larger than average frame for a road bike or touring bike....would be great on a RAGBRAI Trip.....

Ever heard of hsolist.com? There is a bike section and I'm sure somebody would love your frame for FREE

Thanks a lot for the bike. It's a nice simple bulletproof machine. starting to work on it now. Do you know if all the parts are original?

[picksbigwagon]

I wasn't the original purchaser, I know I replaced the chain and some other parts that need changing now and then....
