What are the features of Schwinn World Sport Bike?
Design and history
The Schwinn World Sport was designed as a road bike, it was a high-end consumer product at the time, with excellent parts quality and riding experience. The design retains a road bike’s head-tube angle, continuing Schwinn’s consistent demand for high-quality bikes.
Men’s models are in high demand right now. Women’s models are extremely difficult to come by.
Steel Frame
In the beginning, the Schwinn World Sport Bike had a carbon steel frame. The chrome Schwinn World Sport Bike was later produced. There is a significant quality difference between the two, and what remains today is essentially the chrome frame Schwinn World Sport.
The assembly date of the bike should be represented by a stamped four-digit number in a very small font on the head badge. The first three digits are the day of the year (001-366), and the last digit is the year’s last digit. The decals and components determine the decade. This bike's badge says 3320, which means it was made at the end of 1980?
In addition, for Giant-built World Sports, the month and year of manufacture are stamped into the drive-side rear dropout in the format “GMMYY,” where G stands for Giant (Taiwan), MM stands for the month, and YY stands for the year.
The online Schwinn catalogs can then be used to determine what tubing was used in the frame and which components were available for that year’s World Sport.
Seat
The seat is set up a little differently than the newer ones, a little smoother, but it is not suitable for long-distance riding and lacks breathability. If you buy a used Schwinn world sport, you can upgrade to a softer seat. Typically, the seats on used bikes are in poor condition.
