If anyone has any used / vintage steel 52-54 cm they’re looking to get rid of holler!
I have a Schwinn Letour that is about that size, will have to check the seat tube dimension. It has a threaded fork, and I have a seatpost for it too. It has horizontal dropouts, and used to be my regular fixed gear. IIRC it is 4130 Chromoly. I re-painted it a few years ago, though the paint isn't the most durable. The only thing is that it has a little damage to the seat tube. I don't remember how deep, but filled it in with a little bondo (grinder damage from the guy who stole the trek lol). That damage isn't too deep iirc. Yours if you want it for cost of shipping. If that sounds good I can check the dimensions for you tonight. Might be a good project bike for you. Btw, it has a set of water bottle braze ons too.
