condition: excellent
make / manufacturer: James Pickering
size / dimensions: 62 x 57 center to center
James Pickering was a British builder who built frames in the 1970s out of Tucson Arizona. You will not find another one like it. Look at the pictures and look at the workmanship. I am not anxious to sell it so I will ignore lowball offers. If the ad is up I still have it. This was a top level racing frame, operate angles, short wheelbase, meant to go fast.
Reynolds 531 throughout
Campagnolo vertical dropouts (very rare)
extensive reinforcements for stiffness
English threading
62 x 57
designed for 700 cm wheels (shown as an illustration but not included in the sale)
designed for standard reach brakes of the 1970s but will I believe will accommodate modern short reach breaks (shown as an illustration but not included in the sale)
62 cm Pickering custom frame - $425 (Chevy Chase)

Schwinn Super LeTour 12.2 - $80 (West Salem)
https://salem.craigslist.org/bop/d/s...299570713.html
I don’t want to sell this, but a new bike has landed in the garage and my wife says something has to go. This is a 1978 Schwinn Super LeTour 12.2. Made for three years for Schwinn by Panasonic - beautiful Japanese lugged steel with a reputation for a butter smooth riding experience. Obviously it’s a project - the bottom bracket and headset will likely need maintenance, but the cables and drivetrain seem to be in good shape. Check out that Suntour Alpha hardware and bar-end shifters. This would make a super tourer, bike packer, or even gravel grinder - if you convert to 700c tires, it should take wider tires and the Diacompe brakes have the reach for an easy switch.
It needs wheels. I will include the set of 27s that it came with, but there’s a missing spoke on the back wheel. For an extra $20, I’ll throw in a nice straight pair of 700s with a six-speed cassette. It needs a seat replacement, but that’s a highly personal choice. I have the Avocet that it came with and you’re welcome to it.

Can he provide you with a picture of the tubing decal?

Not me but that is a nice bike , I have never owned a LeTour in fact I have only owned one Schwinn an 87 Circuit which ended up being just a tad too tall for my comfort . but I have thought about a LeTrour once or twice but I have never went and bought one . I really want a Voyager at some point....
