Is It Worth It?

I came across an old Le Tour with a sweet yellow paint job that I would like to fix up but I would like to know if it is worth the cost. The problems include:
-broken bottom bracket
-bent chainwheel
-nicks in paint
-needs new tires
Thanks

its probably not worth it- I suggest you send it to me so I can dispose of it safely for you

LeTours are nice vintage bikes. You still see a lot of them around. If you are wanting an older bike, it is worth it.

Bikes: Trek, Schwinn, Mongoose, Cannondale, Raleigh, Bianchi, etc.

As long as you are fixing it up to ride it... don't expect to make money from it.

Bikes: Still have a few left!

No, find another LeTour that isn't broken. It's not a rare bike by any means.
