Description
Here is an original VINTAGE (head badge serial number is 1311 and 60639) men’s 27″ SCHWINN SUPER LE TOUR 10-speed road bike. It is in the original and very appealing WHITE colored factory paint. I have seen many vintage road bikes but I have NEVER seen a SUPER LE TOUR in white with red! I think it looks very cool! If you like HIGH QUALITY original bikes, this may be a great bike for you. It was always stored inside in a clean dry area. With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike!
*I believe the SUPER LE TOUR was one step below the top end racing bike… the Schwinn Paramount. (which was a very expensive racing bike) The bike is loaded with great features like Shimano Altus LT derailleur, lightweight aluminum Super Moxy 3-piece cranks, Sakae Randoneer Road Champion racing handlebars, chrome tip forks, Dia Compe brakes, some cool pedals and MORE! It has an upgraded Matrix gel seat. This is a lightweight Schwinn which was made in Japan!
*The tires are 27×1 1/4″. They are vintage tires and do hold air. The bike has lightweight ALUMINUIM rims with QUICK RELEASE hubs front and rear. (the 2 rims are slightly different style)
*The bike is an original TEN SPEED and the rear gears do operate. The bike will need a standard tune up as it has been in long term storage. Will need a front shift cable and the rear brake cable is sticky. The front hand controlled brakes are operable as well. (may need adjustment or possible cable replacement) I am not trying to nit pick the bike, just want to be honest. The little effort you have to put into this bike will be well worth your time! I really like this one!
*DIMENSIONS The stand over height is approx 31″. The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 31 1/4″. The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 21 1/2″. The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22 1/4″. The bike will accomadate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust.
*NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is ok! The paint looks relatively good for a 25+ year old bike! (has typical chips and scratches but is not bad) The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. I hope this bike gets a great home! I really like this one!
*This appears to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by. People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike! A great classic bike at a great price
*Why not ride a bike? You will live longer, feel better, and save $$$ vs of the insanely high cost of gasoline. If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it! A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park! Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 30+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one! People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes! They are more popular now than ever before!
*This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone! It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!! This starts reasonably with ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVE so bid early and don’t miss out! These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced.
*Sold as is simply because it is used. I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible and disclose anything I am aware of about the bike. PLEASE NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while.(not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc. I try to be as honest as possible and never want to disappoint anyone. If you have any questions regarding any specific things concerning the bike, please feel feel to ASK via emali before you bid. Keep in mind you are bidding on a 30+ year old bike that is not a brand new bicycle so it may need minor tuning, cables or cable adjustment, if tires are original, they may or may not have sidewall cracks, etc. I try to be as honest as I can and disclose anything I know about the bike. I want you to be happy with your new vintage purchase but please understand the bike may need some tlc to be road ready.
*By bidding please understand that you are purchasing a used bicycle that may or may not need tlc. If I notice an issue, I always try to note it in the auction listing. I want you to be excited about your new bike and hope you really enjoy your new vintage ride for years to come. Be sure to check out all pics and email with any questions you may have before you bid regarding condition, mechanical items, etc.
*NOTE REGARDING SHIPPING YOUR BIKE Your bike will be partially disassembled and shipped to you in a factory bicycle box. We try our best to package the bicycles carefully to avoid any unnecessary damage caused in transit however, scratches etc are possible to happen in transit which we have no control over once shipped. We try to package well so the bike arrives to you in the same condition as it left us.
*SHIPPING TIME I ship bikes on Tuesdays and Fridays via Fed Ex. Generally, if I receive your payment by 1 pm central time on Monday, it allows me enough time to get your bike to the shop for packing and to ship along with the Tuesday AM shipment. If I receive your payment by 1 pm central time on Thursday, it gives enough time to have it packed and ship Friday AM. If paid after that time, please expect it to go out with the next shipment.
*PLEASE NOTE, I WILL NO LONGER BE SHIPPING FULL SIZE BIKES OUTSIDE OF THE USA. This is due to the high cost of shipping and customs.
*I have lots of other rare bicycles, bike parts and bike accessories, as well as vintage car parts and unique items on auction this week! Check them out! Combine items to save yourself $$$ on shipping! Email with any questions you may have.
