Pete: What color is your SS? I've seen them in Campus Green, Kool Lemon, Sunset Orange, Terra Cotta and Opaque Blue. My blue Super Sport was in great condition but for some areas of the paint which were chippy dippy. Oscar-Igor had to mix some Testors Sky Blue with regular Blue to get it perfectamundo.

Dirtgrinder: A Kool Lemon Sprint must have been quite a pretty bike. I've only seen them in blue. They show up on ebay every so often. You'll find it for less than $50. I'm visiting my brother in law in Huntington Beach this summer. I'm going to try to weasel his from out of his garage.

If your Le Tour has a four digit number stamped onto it's headbadge, that's the date. The first three digits are the day of the year, and the last digit is for the last digit of the year. For example, 0178 is January 17 1978 or 88.
