Thoughts on my purchase

Recently joined the forums due to a dumpster find. Ross frame missing a rim and wheel, seat post and saddle. Instead of investing in that bike I figured I may have luck finding something complete. Searched on Craigslist locally and found this little gem.

Schwinn Super Le Tour. I believe it is a 77 and I only paid 150 for it....Thoughts?

SLT is a good solid bike. You paid around Fair Market Value for yours. What are your plans for it?

Ride it along side my 4 year old and watch as he learns to ride his bike.

You may want to overhaul all the bearings before putting many miles on it.

Enjoy!

Seems reasonable. Can't kill those bikes. Your 4-year old will give it to his/her 4-year old.
