Vintage Schwinn Super Le Tour

[Miroslaw]

Hey there!

I've just recently got into biking - I'm right near Portola Valley in California so I've got some pretty good looking hills to enjoy.

I found this listing on craigslist for a Vintage 49cm Schwinn Super Le Tour bike for $440. It looks like a great entry-level bike.

Quote:A quality Schwinn bicycle made in Japan in amazing lightly used condition. Beautiful gloss black finish with white acsents with chrome fork ends make this a stunning bike to gaze at. Professionally serviced and set up with new tires, new tape, and new cables and housing. 4130 chromoly double butted frame tubes, Shimano 600 rear derailleur, alloy double cranks, alloy quick release front and rear wheels, and dia compe side pull brakes. Seat tube is 49cm center to top so it will fit riders from 5’1”-5’5”. Perfect for general road riding, long distance commuting, and sport touring. Frame has front and rear rack mounts with lots of room for fenders. Truly a beautiful example. This will make someone smile!

Thanks!
