Matt Have you considered a 1986 to 1990 Schwinn World Sport or 1986/87 Traveler Step Thrus or a 1984 to 1987 Schwinn LeTour Step Thru?? The Step thru looks like a Betty but without the extra set of stays behind the TT/ST lug, scan of 1985 Schwinn catalog of a World Sport step thru
Schwinn catalogs, 1981 - 1990 (266 of 456) (waterfordbikes.com) <https://waterfordbikes.com/SchwinnCat/flschwinn_1981_1990/1985Ltwt21.html> Both use 4130 double Butted TT/DT (lugged) and a 1020 tubular fork & have 27" alloy rims. The LeTours used 4130 stays. Craiglist is a good source with prices in the $125 to $250 range. Common size frame size is 19" C-T (48cm) with some 21" frames. A 19" should fit her 5'4". Schwinn gave 26# for the LeTour and 27# for the World Sport. Panaracer still has the Pasela in a 27" tire. She may appreciate the lower cost. The World model is a 1020 LUGGED frame and weighs about 28# which is not bad and have 27" alloy rims in 1985 and after. There tend to be more World's vs World Sport/Traveler simply because they cost less John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Monday, October 24, 2022 at 3:00:06 PM UTC-4 mmille...@gmail.com wrote: > Hello all, > > I've been looking for a step-through for my wife.
