Beautifully Restored 1963 Schwinn Traveler 3 Speed

Description

I'm selling this beautiful example of American bike manufacturing! This is a spectacular 1963 SchwinnTraveler 3 speed, in excellent condition. It even has the rare, perfect Starburst headbadge. I have restored every component of the bike; every part was completely disassembled, degreased, polished, broken & worn parts replaced, and reassembled. This includes the Sturmey Archer 3 Speed hub, which shifts effortlessly. The wheels were completely broken down, then reassembled with new spokes, and trued. The paint and decals are original; this Schwinn Radiant Blue is amazing! There are some small chips in the paint, and some small spots of corrosion around the bottom bracket/chainstays, which are stable, (see photo). All in all, the paint and decals are in marvelous condition. The bars are new, from Velo Orange, and it's a very comfortable bar for a daily driver. The front "Schwinn Approved" caliper is original, but I had to replace the rear one with a caliper from a '66 Collegiate. The red, sparkly grips are Schwinn vintage, but not original. This bike rides like a new one! It has a new chain, new tubes/tires, new brake pads, and new cables. 26" wheels - 21" frame - approximate 31" stand over height. Comfortable fit for anyone 5' 4" to 5' 9. Local pickup in Brooklyn, or I can recommend my local bike shop, and you can get a quote for packing and shipping directly from them. I'm happy to drop it off to the bike shop for you, but I don't want to be involved in the shipping process. (It currently has the black tires and red grips) Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
