1987 Schwinn LeTour

This LeTour has had a complete mechanical rebuild. Frame and fork were checked for alignment. Dropouts aligned. BB threads and fork steerer threads chased. Seat tube reamed. Paint finish is rough, but the frame and fork are rust free.

Set up with Kenda K161 gravel tires, Box Three mountain bike brake pads, stainless steel cables, and Supacaz bar tape. These USA-made, True Temper frames with 27” wheels have a soft ride and very neutral geometry that makes them great for gravel riding, touring or commuting. Just a great classic Schwinn lightweight.
