Almost complete 1977 Schwinn Super Le Tour



I repacked the hubs and headset, cleaned and polished the entire bike. Added yellow handlebar wrap and a new seat. It's my wife's new ride - too small for me. If anyone knows where I can get yellow tires that fit I'd appreciate it.

What is it too long ;-)

My wife liked this seat better than the original.

She likes 'em wide, soft and short... and is very vocal about it. Don't get her started

They say short and thick does the trick. The saddle is actually fairly wide, and more comforatble than the velo saddle that it came with.
