Funny, but a Schwinn Le Tour is what got me started down the road to C&V restorations. I acquired an '84 Le Tour Luxe for free and it's only real flaw was a broken rear derailleur. In the end, I couldn't cut it up and decided to flip it instead.

24 hours later and $150 ahead of the game, I decided fixing and restoring might be even more fun that chopping and welding...
