Those look like the wider (7819?) bars? I did not keep the original brakes and grips. A local bike shop got it back on the road for me. I’m ok with the brakes and grips they used. The seat and the bars aren’t the right look though.

Awesome....thanks.

Very helpful video! Thanks! I'm pretty sure mine came with the Schwinn 7881 (Wald 867?) style bars.

My recollection is that the original grips were black. I could be wrong though. It was a LONG time ago!

Not sure yet. Probably yes though. I would like to get it back to the original configuration. I wish I would’ve saved all of that stuff!

Thanks. Are those the original style handlebars that would’ve been on a 1972 Collegiate? I’ll keep my on those. I’m hoping to find NOS or reproduction.

I’m trying to get my childhood bike, a 1972 Schwinn Collegiate Tourist, back on the road and I’m having trouble finding original handlebars. I converted it to drop style bars and didn’t keep the originals.

I think so.

Mine is a Tourist that I converted to a sport style with drop bars when I was a kid in the late 70s. I have the brake levers and cables. I didn’t keep the original bars and I’m having a hard time finding some. Thanks for the reply!

Can you tell me where you got those handlebars? I have a 1972 collegiate and want to put original (reproduction)upright touring handlebars and grips back on it.
