Premis

I bought this from the original owner this morning. We met half way on the Jersey Turnpike and did the exchange. Nice guy, said his dad bought it for him when he was in HS. He said he rode it through college and it has hung in his basement since then. The owners manual says it came out of Keswick Cycle Co in Pa.
This one is going to take a while to get clean, probably 30 years of grime on it.

Hey Tim

Love the paint scheme! Will look great all polished up!!

Thanks Bob, you did a great job with the one you have. Tim

Super condition, as usual for all your bikes. Congrats!

Great find and great condition. Is that a 1988? I think it was in 88 that Schwinn offered tricolor options for their upper end road bikes. Enjoy the ride!

Hi Dave, the bike was assembled on the 362nd day of 87 for the 88 lineup based on the head tube emblem stamping (see photo). Schwinn did come out with some wild looking paint jobs in that time period. I like the yellow and white Prelude from that era and the Ontare too.Tim

@Tim s Very nice. That will be a nice addition to the collection.

is that the Shimano Sante groupset?

never mind, I see the Dia-Comp now. I had no idea that they also introduced a set of white components.

It is coming along slowly as usual. The LBS put on new bar tape and I clearned up the hoods with cleaner wax. Waiting on new tires that should be here early this week. The previous owner found the reflectors and was nice enough to send them to me. Tim
