This guy is pretty Franken. My life situation is changing (I'm going back to school), so I'm going to be able to get back to commuting starting in August. I picked up this '74 Schwinn Le Tour at a garage sale. It had been repainted at some point, and it had new wheels with flip flop hubs. There wasn't much original on the bike. I put on new (or stuff I had lying around) brakes/levers/cable/housing, headset, saddle, tires, handlebars and pedals. I'm also experimenting with using old tubes for handlebar tape, and I like it so far.

I have new Longboard fenders and and old rack to put on it. I also have a new chainring on the way. It's not set up to handle going uphill at the moment.

This is about as comfortable a bike as I've had. In the past, I've had chop and flop handlebars, but I splurged on bullhorns, and it's much nicer. I'm also really enjoying the cross levers. And the 35mm tires are cush. It's nice having the space for bigger tires and fenders.
