Great job Dustin! a very thorough restoration and build, these late 80's lightweight Schwinn road bikes were pretty sweet, the lineup for 1988 featured a handful of really nice models to choose from all comparable with the best models of the 70's like the Superior, Sports Tourer and World Voyageur. Keep up the great work and thanks for your contribution to the preservation of these vintage beauties 👍👍🔧🔧🔥🔥

Nice, I have a old Vitus 979 with Mavic Drive Train and Campy Chorus Cranks, complete with Scott DH Bars, J-Disc rear wheel, and Tri-spoke front wheel from the 1980s sitting in my Garage that I need to restore.

When assembling a stem to handlebars I remove the bolt from the handlebar stem clamping area and tap a tapered wooden shim in the gap to spread it slightly. That way it will slide on. I don't wiggle it on and scratch the handlebars.

That saddle definitely adds that last extra finishing touch , Clean lines

I got an 89 Circuit with white Santé hoods that were spent. Dirty and sticky. I found some white aero 105 hoods for like $5 and they fit just fine!

Thanks! Yes, I gave him the option and basically said, "It's $35, you need to do this. :D"

I used to own a 88 Schwinn Premis. Purple Color. It was assembled with Shimano 105 Groupo with indexed shifters. The Columbus Tenax tubing was either Columbus SL tubing that had cosmetic blemishes and was sold under the Tenax label. It was an excellent entry level road/racing bike for the era but weighed about 21 or 22 lbs. its handling and tracking was very good. I ended up giving it to my cousin 5 years later when I bought a Schwinn Paramount. I think he still has it but last time I visited it was pretty badly rusted from sitting in his garage for years.

What do you think the maximum size tire you can fit on this is?

@christopherohara9421 3 ай бұрын

Do these have a strange tire size

Really turned out well! Agreed that these '80s bikes really have a lot going for them, and a good refurbishing reveals this. Question ... was that metal polish that brightened up the handlebars? I didn't know if that would work on anodize finishes.

@JustinDoesTriathlon 7 ай бұрын

Thanks! Agreed. I'm 95% sure that was "Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish." (I say 95% because now it's a white goo in an unlabelled jar mystery chemical, but I think that's what it's from. 🤣) I use Flitz chrome polish for chrome but it doesn't do much for bare alu. That mag polish works *great* on alum. Highly reccomend.

@twowheels222 7 ай бұрын

Thats a really good idea to use automotive wheel polish. I have heard that standard metal polish would dull an anodize coating, but auto products would be made for anodized finishes. Thanks@@JustinDoesTriathlon

Totally! I rarely use bike specific products. A lot of things from the car world just work better

Do you what spindle length you sied for the bottom bracket? Im restoring a schwinn premis exactly like this one. thanks for the inspo

@odacity509 3 ай бұрын

I believe it is either 115 or 118mm based on internet searches, but I can't find any old Schwinn specs to confirm

@JustinDoesTriathlon 3 ай бұрын

Oh awesome, that's fun! Went with a 68x115 Tange LN-3922. 👍 I actually still have the bike in my posession for another week if you need any measurements

@@JustinDoesTriathlon Thanks, I appreciate it. I love what you did with the white seat and handlebar tape, and that's the goal.
