I thought some Schwinn expert would have responded by now.
I am not an expert, but I will offer my two cents.
The 12.2 is a well regarded model. - About 1984 they offered a Super LeTour 12.1 in CrMo. and by '85 it went to Columbus tubing.
FWIW, I am not familiar with any hyphenated version Super LeTour "III-12.2"
I have seen the 12.2's listed on CL around here from time to time, in the $200 neighborhood, in nice condition- so I think $250 is a bit high, but depending on your market, it may not be all that unreasonable if it's clean and fully road ready.

Thanks for correcting me on that, Scooper. I didn't even notice that they'd dropped the "12.2" suffix by 79.
If it is an 80's LeTour and not a 12.2 - What do you think the value is? - Maybe $150 ish?

The 12.2s, double-butted 4130 and Tenax bikes are lighter and more desirable than the carbon steel bikes, and the fully chromed 12.2s are especially desirable. I'd say the these bikes in good condition range in value from ~$100 for the straight gauge carbon steel bikes to ~$250 or so for the chromed 12.2s and later Tenax bikes. Just MHO...
