Funny...In my 20 odd years of working in a Schwinn shop, we always referred to the many "Voyageur" models as "Voyeurs". Just like the "Suburbans" were called "Sub Humans". With other bikes, "All Pros" were "Alpo's" (as in the dog food). All the other cheapo repairs were "POS's". Funniest name I ever saw on a bike was a year or two ago. I think it was a Royce Union or something like that. The model was the "Delusion". The actual name given by the manufacturer. Remember "Dae Yung" tires? Hope this isn't too far off topic. BTW, if the "Voyageur" owner is interested, I have a couple of NOS "Voyaguer 11.8" top tube decals lying around somewhere I'll sell him.
