Bricknd’s 1978 Schwinn Le Tour

Posted

Bricknd sent us this garbage picked ’78 Schwinn Le Tour.  No that’s not a boat anchor, that’s a Scott (What were they called?) full aero bar, I haven’t seen one of those in long time!

1978 Schwinn Le Tour

About two months ago someone put an old Powder blue Schwinn Le Tour “To the curb”. I stopped in to see if it was free-and was. Have rebuilt this old ten speed with some modifications to suit my needs.
Paint, decals, and a few new parts this bike cruises very nicely.

      Handlebars are quite usefull going up hills and against the wind. First couple of days using them put a hurtin’ on my abs. Handlebars were the best $11.50 I spent-Ebay find.

    I look at whats on the curb every garbage night in hopes of finding something like this! Nice bike, good find.

    I gotta ask you this.where did you get the name Bricknd? I only ask because I am a semi retired Journeyman mason/contractor.

      Brickin’ Dan for long. I used to be a bricklayer and tile setter on gunite swimming pools. Now I build custom fire pits mostly for hobby. This years project pit is shaped like the Harley Davison Bar & Shield. Thanks.

      You’re right Alex, I didn’t look close enough when I posted this, I was so taken by the handlebars!:)
