Salt Flat Cycles
Finally riding a big boys bike
I picked up this frame set this week. Looks to be a 1972 built World Voyageur in kool Orange. It’s missing the wheel set, seat, and random bits and pieces. For the life of me I can’t find my calipers, anyone know the size of seat posts that these used? It was cheap and it’s nice to have a schwinn lightweight that is actually light in weight.
I had a pair of coaster brake 700c wheels that I threw on it.
I’m personally not a fan of drop bars. Too many skateboard injuries when I was young that they hurt my wrists. Threw on the Wald bars (867’s I think) and pulled off the guard and 39 tooth ring.
I don’t really love the cream tires with the orange. It might be blasphemous but I’m thinking that I might strip off the orange for an all chrome bike. The orange looks better in the pictures and on the other side someone started trying to paint it black.
I have a bag of parts from the bike. Not really sure what is original or not.
