Just bought a '10 Schwinn LeTour Super

Finished upgrading to Rival. First time I've done anything to that extent. Maybe a few things I could clean up still but I just want to ride, and it's raining today :(.

Isn't exactly my dream road bike, but it's what I have for the moment. It has been a few years (decades) since I did much road biking. After chasing my 12 yr old on a 50lb Mountain Bike for 25 miles, I decided that if HE was going to be on a road bike (1981 Takara) then I needed something a little more nimble again. Used ($25) 79 Schwinn Le Tour IV (I think...need to post the specs in Vintage...might be a Le Tour), and have been flogging it on a few 25 mile runs and a 35 mile run. Getting it AND me back in shape.

If you really want to ride...you just saddle up and ride! Your sig says, "I pedal in my sleep", not gettin' in much saddle time that way huh. Better change that to, "I pedal in the rain". |

It's raining so you "can't" ride...Really, you can't ride due to rain? C'mon dude. HTFU and ride your damn bike. It's rained 28 of the last 30 days here in Portland OR and it hasn't stopped folks here from riding.

@UCIMBZ - I will be doing this ride in July: 2 days, 240 miles and ~21,000' of climbing with elevations in excess of 12,000'. We ride this route West on Saturday and back to the East on Sunday. My 11-28 is staying right where it is.

Just got my Giant Defy 3 today......pics to follow!
|
Picked up my bike and went for a break in 30 mile test ride and WoW, totally different than my Allez.
2010 SL Club - Shimano 105 - Plus a few custom extras ;) I have new pedals on the way (shimano 105 SPD-SL) but I wasn't about to wait for the pedals to ride this thing. I'll post more pics with the S-Lite wheels instead of the Quasar Training wheels when I switch the cassette. http://liveoncenjoy.com/SMF/MGalleryItem.php?id=132 http://liveoncenjoy.com/SMF/MGalleryItem.php?id=136 http://liveoncenjoy.com/SMF/MGalleryItem.php?id=133 Here is a shot of My SL Club next to the owner of the companie's SL Pro Elite Custom. http://liveoncenjoy.com/SMF/MGalleryItem.php?id=131 I'll probably post it with the race wheels in the race thread. Yay for carbon (Total weight just over 17 lbs. More like 16 with the other wheels and new pedals when they come. |

Nice first road bike. That giant will treat you well. Now for the obligatory newbie public message. Take a picture from your chain side. It sets us all see the most important stuff!
|
|
Yup! That's the bike's name. "Manocoque" See if anyone can pick up the other main thing I asked for.

Just bought it today. The bars look silly from this angle... They look much better in person. |
Lower your bars, free speed boost :)
Unless you really really like the extra comfort :) |
Wow!
