My next flip is a Le Tour II that I found in the garbage. It's getting new $6 tires, a tune up and bar wrap. Maybe I'll ask $80.
I've received my share of deals since I discovered this generous vintage bike community so I'm just glad I can make someone happy.

I would start out asking $100 for the Le Tour II. With the new parts and a tune up it would be well worth that much. A good deal for you and for the person buying it.
