If financially thats all you can afford, I get it, and totally relate. But a LeTour is kinda soulless. A gaspipe Gitane or Peugeot at least has a little character. A LeTour is what a teenager would ride to school or commute to work on before they could drive. The L'Eroica events "require" something with a racing heritage. Besides I think there is a silent ban on Schwinns other than Wastyn or Kostner ave. built Paramounts.
