Schwinn Super Le Tour 12.2
Hey Friends,
I picked up a free schwinn super le tour 12.2 today! I'm real excited about it! I had a WTB add on craigslist and got a email from a guy that does building inspections. He told me about one in the back yard of this empty house. So i went and got it. It needs work and a repaint looks to be all orginal. But, hey cant beat free. I do know a little about this model, but any more info is always great.

Paint looks OK to me, and repaint = quick way to spend a lot of $$.
Be sure to use a bolt cutter on that chain. Chains in that condition can put quite a bit of stress on your chain tool, and its a goner regardless.

Nice find! That's just the best feeling in the world, getting an old bike, having no idea what it could be, and then the really fun part, making it all pretty. Enjoy!
