The 1973 World Voyageur, along with the World Traveler, was Schwinn's first import from Japan. It is a beautiful bike, made by Panasonic, and compared favorably with the far more expensive top-of-the-line Paramount. I am partial to Schwinn Voyageurs, as my first "good bike" is a 1985 Voyageur, purchased when I returned to serious cycling with my father. For true cyclists, there is often a strong emotional connection between rider and machine.
This bike is all original, save for the leather Belt saddle, which was an option offered by the Schwinn dealer.
