I have owned this 1959 Schwinn Traveler for a couple of years. It started out as a bare frame and fork, with the fork needing some straightening. Fortunately, I had the parts to complete the bike and straightened the fork.
I have added a couple of personal touches on this bike not seen on my other green Traveler bikes. For example, this bike has white cable covers (grey would be stock) and "8-ball" valve stem caps (stock would be the small caps).
These Schwinn Traveler bikes were a luxurious three speed back in the 1950s and 60s, even if they are a bit heavy. They have many of the classic "mid-century", American style touches, such as stainless steel fenders with a front fin, lots of chrome, and white wall tires.
