World Voyager in Kool Orange

[Mr.RED]

Just finished rehabbing a 1973 Scwhinn World Voyager pretty much all original minus the seat, tires and brake pads. I had this bike down at the last Dudley CT swap but after a little bit of wax on and wax off I decided to keep it. The Kool orange is hard to beat.

Sweet!
I have the same bike in the smaller frame size. Mine's not as nice as yours though.

Gorgeous! 23”?

One feature I always found slightly surprising on these is that whilst Matsu##ita/Arnie chose to kit it with mostly Yoshi fittings they elected to mount Maeda shift levers. Have never encountered these light grey lever covers on other makes wearing Barcons. Evidently an Arnie specification...

Would be of interest to read the observations of @Metacortex here.

[Mr.RED]

Yes mine is 23" I had a yellow one years back but ended up selling it, I came across this one and was like I can't sell this one.

Nice ride. Thinking that was a one year only model?

 

[Mr.RED]

I believe it was 1 year only model , a similar shade orange was used on the Scwhinn Volare

a similar shade orange was used on the Scwhinn Volare

The paint on the World Voyageur is a "solid" color. On the Volare it's a "radiant" or metallic color.

 

[Mr.RED]

Yeah 2 different oranges for sure wasn't the Volare a 1 year 1 color only model also?
