Tyler L’s 1987 Schwinn Le Tour

Posted January 10, 2010

I’ve got time for one more post today, so why not another Le Tour. This is Tyler L’s ’87 Le Tour complete with triple chainring crank, fenders, rack and a proven touring resume.

1987 Schwinn Le Tour

I got this bike last, bitty cold, January in a shop on Chicago’s north side. Everything was stock when I bought it unti I added fenders, a rack, and a nice Brooks saddle. It even came with threads for a third chainring (they weren’t kidding when they marketed it as a touring bike). I’ve toured it through the mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and a wee bit of North Carolina without any problems at all. I’ve just taken it apart to clean and re-grease all the moving parts, and we’ll surely be heading out to Colorado come next summer! Keep up the good work on the gallery!

Thanks Tyler
