Bikes: Vintage Schwinn--still researching

1979 Schwinn Le Tour

Before: pictures from craigslist link when I purchased. No hardware whatsoever and the fork and stem were essentially so rusted, the rust formed as a welding material! Lots of work!












After:
New bottom bracket, brake/shifting cables, hoods, cups, bottle bracket, chain, seat clamp, tires/tubes, specialized white cork tape, and then shifters, fork, brake hardware, stem from used bike; removed most rust. Looking to get White saddle and new pedals w/ straps soon
