Schwinn Super LeTour

Hey all. I ordinarily ride a Fuji fixed-gear Frankenstein of sorts with fenders and risers. While I generally know bikes, I could always use some advice.

Anyway, today I saw a white Chicago Schwinn Super Le Tour with a Blue Mels fenders and a rack and pump (obviously added more recently). It was at the thrift store and they wanted $24.95 I think. It was a smallish frame, definitely a bit small for me, but I could use it or save it for someone else. The sticker said it was made of 1020, and while it wasn't incredibly light, it wasn't heavy for a steel touring bike. i don't remember the serial number. I could easily get it going with some new cables, possibly new tires, a truing job on the front wheel, some lube, and some tweaking.

Would you go for it?
