I picked up an early '80s Schwinn Le Tour Lux probably 15 years ago at a garage sale for $50. Been stored in a dusty garage since new. Barely rideable. Cranks barely turned. Cleaned it up, opened the bearings and the problem! Petrified grease! Scraped it out, replaced with Phil and it was a brand new bike! Nowhere near 100 miles on it. Probably not 10.
