Dustin G’s 1979 Schwinn Le Tour

Posted December 10, 2009

Dustin G. acquired this 1979 Schwinn Le Tour for the everyday low price of someone else’s bass guitar.  Dustin, I’m just curious why you didn’t just pay him the $10 and hock the bass to pay for the parts and rehab?

After fixing up a mountain bike for my friend he told me about a bike frame he thought might be in the back of his mom’s garage. He had originally offered to sell it to me for $10 as it ‘needed a lot of work’. However I have a bass guitar someone had left at my house after a party so I traded him that.
When he brought it over to my house it was just the frame,wheels, and handle bars. After a few weeks of shopping around for some parts it’s back in working order.

Thanks Dustin
