1987 Schwinn Super Le Tour Mixte

This is a 1987 Schwinn Super LeTour that was originally my Grandmothers and now my Mothers bicycle. My grandparents made a special trip from upper Michigan to purchase matching his and her Schwinn bicycles for there retirement years. Now the bicycles belong to my mom and dad. There are many miles on this bike all over the Midwest. I restored the bike for my Mother and will be soon restoring my fathers Super LeTour. There is a lot of family history in this bike and hopefully a lot more history to come. The restoration can be seen at http://johns-recycled-bicycle.blogspot.com/ Thanks, John

    That is a fine looking bike – I’d be proud to ride that (although I’d rather have bar-end, or even stem shifters).

    John Z., nice lookin’ Le Tour. Black and red, I love that combo–and the red cable housing completes the package.
    Looks like a real comfortable bike to ride, love the set up.

    Sweet Le Tour, very cool that it getting used by multiple generations. I am building up a Le Tour III mixte for my sister-in-law and hope it turns out as well as yours.
