1975 Schwinn Voyageur II touring bicycle, a classic mid-1970s long-distance road and touring bike from Schwinn’s respected Voyageur lineup.
Built with double-butted 4130 chromoly steel tubing, the Voyageur II was designed for riders seeking durability, comfort, and reliability over long miles. The lugged frame construction and chrome detailing give the bike the elegant craftsmanship typical of Schwinn’s better road and touring models of the era.
This example is finished in silver with chrome plated head lugs, fork ends, and rear dropouts, giving the bike a distinctive vintage touring aesthetic.
The bike features a classic mix of Shimano touring components, including a Shimano Dura-Ace crankset, Shimano LeTour rear derailleur, and Dia-Compe center-pull brakes, paired with Araya alloy rims and Shimano large flange hubs.
A rear touring rack and pump mounts further emphasize the bike’s original long-distance touring purpose.
The bicycle has been cleaned and prepared for sale and presents well for its age, making it a great candidate for a vintage rider, commuter, or touring restoration.
