Should I strip my LeTour and learn?

What I mean is, I was given a "Mint" 1989 or 90 Schwinn LeTour. This bike was used for one ride of around 8 miles. I put air in the tires and rode it 50 miles or so...It goes really nice but It sat for about 20 years and I feel it definetily should be gone over, tuned up, and fit properly to me. Ironically its my size.
I'm very mechanically inclined, and I wonder if I should strip this bike totally down and clean it adjust it, etc.etc...to do it for the reason it needs. Plus to learn from it. I used to ride allot years ago and have such a powerful draw to get back out to the open roads and long rides!!

Or should I leave it to the pro's, pay the 50 bucks or so and have it done?

I also was give a Women's Trek 330. Same year......"NEVER USED". I have no use for it, but I love the look of it...My wife has no interest in riding with me. I don't know what to do with this one.

Thanks so much for your input,
Rich
