Can you date my Schwinn?
Can someone tell me about my Le Tour? Stamped on the left dropout= SE014127. I've looked at a bunch of sites and can't seem to find any info. Thanks!

I could date your schwinn but I don't know if Schwinn would approve.

SE014127 is May 1980, or May 1990. It would certainly help to have clear photos of the bike so we could see the decaling, or a list of the components.
You could also try to see if you recognize the bike from the catalog pictures:
1980 Super Le Tour catalog page
1990 Voyageur and Le Tour catalog page

oh great.. hey thanks for the scoop scooper. I had posted up on several other boards with no response. Thank you.
I could've sworn the original owner said it was a 74. It definitely matches the 1980 catalog to a t.
And the "S" at the beginning.. Does that mean the bike was built in Japan?
btw, here's a pic of it: https://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.p...9&postcount=56
