Picked up a Le Tour Tourist at Goodwill for 5 bones today. Sorry, I only have a low quality webcam for pics:



I'm not sure if it's an 81 or 82, but it's all standard except the saddle. It also has drop bars unlike the stock tourist, but I was reading somewhere that some shops reconfigured the le tour tourist model back to the le tour drops because of poor sales.

Anyway, I'm happy. My area has a terrible used market, and I've been looking for a working old road bike for the better part of the year. It pretty much fits me perfect, and pretty much all the parts are fixable. I'm not sure whether I should relace the hubs with alloy rims, or just buy new wheels all together?
