had pics up when starting post than lost them

kinda makes you wonder how something like that would be under a house
awesome find dude, ima have to start tunnel ratting under peoples houses now.

I'm a cable tech and crawling under houses comes with the territory. It's a Schwinn Preditor Qualifier. Went to the local Schwinn dealer to find out more. It has a made in Tiawan sticker. drop out is stamped G1185 on one side and a bunch of numbers on the other. Not sure what to do with it yet

Some kid probably stole it and took all the parts off to put on his bike and then hid the frame from his parents.

It was a complete. I dismantled it last night. CW type bars(that's why I got it) 165 sugino 1 pc cranks dia dompe 885/890 brakes(don't know) mx levers sakea stem???

So did you get the "85 all cleaned and reassembled? Would love to see it. I have had a few Qualifiers over the years. I still have a '86 Qualifier and a '85 Nighthawk.

nope, need to sell. check the for sale items...

I recently acquired one of these qualifiers for free.
It was complete but very low end parts that were beyond fixing so I threw about everything away except the SR neck.

did you notice the fork welds around the crown? they look unsafe to me.

I was just going to throw some walgoose parts on it with a cheapy Diamond Back fork for the kids to ride.

If there is value to these frames, I'll be glad to pass mine along. yuck.

IMO no schwinn is a good find
