Schwinn Collegiate

[Mope Head]

Just picked this little beauty from CL for $25.
Preliminary research makes it an '84 Taiwan bike in "Dusty Rose".
3 Speed Shimano hub. Great shape and seems stock except for the Bell seat.
If anyone has any additional info on this particular model I'd appreciate it. Not really up on my Schwinns.
Let the cleaning begin!

1983 Giant built - nice find, good price... I have the near same bike in blue that I got in a trade with a local friend. looks clean, too.

Hey Dragon,
What source did you use to identify the date?

Giant built Schwinns are a piece of cake

G0583 .... May 1983 . learned that from the BMX guys over on the museum .

Schwinns, vintage or 80's Giant built are about the easiest bikes to date. ( some odd ones being the exception ) .
