My son dragged me, kicking and screaming, back into road biking. After he found an old Takara in the back of the garage that we fixed up, and we did a 25 mile run, him on that, ME on a Target Mt Bike, I HAD to get a road bike. The economy being what it was (and still is) I found a 79 LeTour IV at a rummage sale for $25. It was mostly working, but needed a thorough going over. Cables, tires, Lube, more lube, cleaning, derusting, then ended up stripping it down and repainting. New (used) 700s, new brake levers, bar tape, seat, bits here and there. I felt kind of bad in taking off the few stickers that remained, but the paint was really nicked up, and RUST in FL is a problem, so it was dealt with. Probably NOT going to bother with new Schwinn decals as it would cost more than the bike! A 79 LeTour IV just doesn't have the value to bother.
