Hey guys, just found this site and it looked like a good bike forum. Im on my fair share of forums, mainly off roading and photography ones, but this is my first cycle forum I inherited my dads post-college bike last year which is a 1980 Schwinn Le Tour in silver. He told me he wanted to get rid of it and I immediately told him I wanted to keep it. It was love at first ride I tell you

He rode the bike when he moved out to San Francisco after college and put a couple hundred miles on it, if that, then let it sit in the shed for 28 years. Over the past year I have been trying to fix it up and turn it into my college commuter. So far I have stripped the whole bike down minus the bottom bracket and gave it the basic overhaul (clean, grease, and new bearings). Here's some pictures of the bike, this was pre-bar wrap:









My next things I need to do are replace the brake and gear cables and housings, along with truing the wheels. I really want to make the bike lighter by upgrading to some Alloy wheels, but I don't exact know what I'm looking for. Maybe you guys can point me the right direction...
