Restored/Upgraded Schwinn Peloton
I purchased this Schwinn Peloton in 2015 and put many great miles on it before deciding to restore and upgrade some of the parts. The old Peloton frames were made from Columbus SL/SP mixed tubing which I found to be surprisingly light compared to other vintage Schwinns I’ve ridden/owned. After restoring, I started doing longer rides on a newer road bike and using this for commuting. I’m selling it because I’ve transitioned to riding a hybrid bike for commuting.
