August 1975 Schwinn Collegiate Tourist. 17" frame. Serial number HL530860.
Took apart, cleaned, greased, polished and waxed eveything!!!(except the kickstand)
The original 26x1 3/8 wheels were junk so I put on a set of 700x32 rims and tires. Changed the brake calipers to accommodate the different size of rims. Bike rides great, shifts and stops great. I did notice a 'bump' in the front and noticed the front rim is cracked! DANGGIT!!! I will be in the lookout for a new set and if I find them will relist at different price. Bike is nice and shiney, but does have scratches, dents, rings and surface rust on chrome. Pick up only. Two hours southwest of Chicago. I80 & I39 right by me.
