Vintage 1978 Schwinn Volare Bicycle - Nearly All Original
Here is my Vintage 21" Reynolds 531 Double Butted Lugged Frame. The rear dropouts are Dura Ace vertical style, no adjustment, Great for quick wheel changes! The bag under the seat has a spare innertube in it. The bike computer wire was damaged, needs repair or replacing. The Gum Rubber Brake Hoods have deteriorated from time. Back in the day, this was considered "The Japanese Paramount" Collectible now, fewer of these made than Paramounts in the day
The front wheel was replaced back in the mid '80's, other than that, the bike is all original with the factory Dura-Ace Components from back in the day. It has been taken care of, but we did ride it for about the first 16 years of it's life. It's been parked and stored in our basement until I took it out so someone else can enjoy it. I also added a quick release for the seat post, (back in the day, we used to take our seats in with us to deter bike theft...Must have worked, I still have the bike) I also installed a Super Link master link to take the chain off for cleaning. (I worked at Licton's Cycle City and Beta Tested the original links), The bike comes with 2 seats. There is a small dent in the top tube that you can see in the last photo, and it is missing the left pedal dustcap. The last 3 photos show the flaws. The wheelbase is 39 3/4" long.
