- Today we say goodbye to an old friend. For the last four years this ~1992 Schwinn Traveler has been my designated adventure bike. A decade older than me, I've put it through through the ringer, and it's earned a well deserved retirement. Join me as I take my bike for One Last Ride along the route that started it all.

Great video. I had an old Schwinn Varsity 10 speed. It was used by both my older brothers and handed down to me. I started riding it when I was in high school in the mid 70's and rode it until I was in my 40's. I rebuilt it and added some upgrades in the early 80's eventually handing it down to my son. I'm not sure if he still has it. I rode that bike everywhere, on the road, gravel and trails. It took a beating but never let me down. I replaced many tires on it, but never had a flat no matter what terrain I rode it on. Your video brought back a lot of good memories of simpler times. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
That is what is all about, the old girls needs rust treatment and a full service, make sure to give her that
That’s a good idea, I’ll have to do that! 🔧
Hey, John... Don't know what your intent is with this old bike, but it sounds like it has a ton of sentimental value to you. Might want to hold off getting rid of it, just for a bit to avoid future regret. I've owned a couple bikes in my time including an '87 Schwinn Sierra mountain bike and '84 Schwinn Le Tour Luxe touring bike. Both bikes I let go and almost immediately regretted it. As there was no chance in finding the originals, I did acquire these models once again, both in exceptional shape. You can never have too many bikes. I still have my son's '86 16 inch wheel, Schwinn Jeda. He's 35 and my grandsons got to ride it too.
...and if you haven't decided on a gravel bike, yet... I suggest checking out the Poseidon Redwood. Exceptional value, it won't break your bank account.
Hi, I’m definitely not getting rid of it anytime soon. (It’s not really mine to get rid of anyway) At the end of the video is a sneak peak of what gravel bikes I got my girlfriend and I, and I’ll be making some videos about the research I did, and the bikes I got soon.
