Schwinn Le Tour III

Here's a Le Tour III being offered on CL for just $40 + local pick-up. Needs some work, though. Is this an '87? Panasonic-made? Color is sweet, too.

I've seen some positive reviews for this model on the forum. What do ya'll think? Is the price right?

That is a 1978, a one-year only model:



It looks to be original except for the saddle, and would be well worth $40. Note that it is a small 21" frame. It was indeed made by Panasonic for Schwinn.

Thanks, Meta. I think I'll place a bid. The frame should fit, but if it doesn't, it'll be a good bike for me to learn a thing or two.
