Dunno, they say that, but you don't need nuts to slide in the front wheel and lean it against the sliding doors in the back of the pic. Wonder if that's someone's garage or a storage facility? I see a lot of low-priced bikes on CL clearly taken with an orange or silver U-Store-It type door behind it, sometimes in bulk, like the storage facility owner is selling off to recoup their expenses when someone walks out on their stuff. One of my step-uncles used to own one of those places and regularly had to do that on units.

Not clear on which Panasonics might be desirable, but here's this one, just in case.
DX-2000, 12-sp, tall (34" standover), decent shape. Hi-ten, not Cro-Mo, tho.
Panasonic DX-2000 hand made classic

Another oddball Cannondale. 1990 SH600 2X2, with LX components. Very early off-roady hybrid, or 29er if you squint. The red stem is original.

I agree, I love the look they had on those as well as the Super Sports. I've been looking for either of those for a long time, but locally no luck. If someone lives in or near RI that's here on this forum they should run and not walk to get that bike, it's beautiful. It will be a tad heavy because it's the touring model, but the looks is just stunning and I guarantee it will get you compliments.

The reason I like the Mountech over the XC is that the Mountech shifts larger gear ranges found on touring bikes much faster and more positive than the XC could even though supposedly the XC was more reliable. I haven't had any issues with my Mountech.

Seller says it's aluminum, but it must be steel. As cheap as I am, I'd be sorely tempted to spend the $125 on this if I lived in Missouri.
Check out the stem--you'd need to have arms like a gibbon to ride this thing. A very tall gibbon.

This was the best year for the Le Tour Luxe, it's a very capable touring bike, it shared the same frame as the higher end Voyager and some of the same components has the even more higher end Voyager SP but uses the Suntour Mountech rear derailleur (which I think was the better rear derailleur) vs the SP's Suntour XC derailleur. I have this exact bike (my light color is blue instead) and I use it for my weekend tours and I really like the way it behaves loaded. Another one of those bikes that is underpriced and goes under the radar of most folks, it would make a very good and highly reliable touring bike and or commuter bike. The price of that bike would be idea IF it has all the original components, the pics aren't good enough to determine that except the pedals which are not.
The reason I like the Mountech over the XC is that the Mountech shifts larger gear ranges found on touring bikes much faster and more positive than the XC could even though supposedly the XC was more reliable. I haven't had any issues with my Mountech.
