What changes made from Schwinn LeTour to LeTour II?

Anyone know the changes Schwinn made from the LeTour to the LeTour II? I have both - they are made in Japan and are from the '70s.

I've been riding the LeTour for a couple of years and it's creaking now so I just got the LeTour II for cheap so I thought i'd fix it up and ride it instead. I can see some minor differences but i couldn't locate on the internet a simple listing of Schwinns' improvements from between these two models.

Try using the "search the forums" function at the top of the page. Use the drop down box underneath your command and select "titles only". This will weed out all the other posts that just mention stuff about Schwinn LeTour. This will take more than a few cold ones to read and enjoy.
