Yeah, I saw this thread while I was at work and I thought Wow, Nice bike, Wow high price. I had an 83 Super LeTour. It was a really nice riding bike. Much nicer than the other Schwinn's I had. If you really want that bike and you don't mind paying top dollar, well it certainly is a nice frame and the wheels appear to be pretty nice.
One thing troubled me. My 83 was not Columbus tubing. I didn't think there were any changes to the frames from 83 to 84. Before you purchase it, check the Schwinn catalogs that are on line (sorry my PDF no longer works). Make sure the 84 (or 85) was made with Columbus tubing.
