I came across an old Le Tour with a sweet yellow paint job that I would like to fix up but I would like to know if it is worth the cost. The problems include:
-broken bottom bracket
-bent chainwheel
-nicks in paint
-needs new tires
Thanks

its probably not worth it- I suggest you send it to me so I can dispose of it safely for you

LeTours are nice vintage bikes. You still see a lot of them around. If you are wanting an older bike, it is worth it.

As long as you are fixing it up to ride it... don't expect to make money from it.

No, find another LeTour that isn't broken. It's not a rare bike by any means.
