1985 Schwinn World 27” Mens Road Bike

Description

For sale!! This old ‘85 Schwinn came out of a recent estate of my family and it needs a good home. The information below from bikehistory.org details the bike well. It’s well-loved and as you can see, there’s tears in the seat and the tires are pretty dry-but i took it on a couple mile ride this morning to test all the gears. The wheels are true and it’s rides nice. It’s not been regularly ridden in probably 20 years-so even though hearing and everything works well-it should get a once over by the new owner.
This is listed for local pickup-but I will ship at cost through bike flights if needed. I’m located about 25 mins south of Milwaukee and an hour north of Chicago.
