My re-entry into road biking a few years back, a $25 Letour, 79. A bit tired, a bit rusted chrome rims that didn't hold a good true, paint shot, decals mostly gone (I had to HUNT the model). Superlite 1020 frame, the year they BOASTED it was sub 30!

It eventually got stripped down and repainted, 700c alloy wheels, aero brake levers. Kept the SuperMaxy Cranks


The resurrected LeTour, down from just under 30 pounds to just above 27
