David's 1973-74 Schwinn Le Tour

David's 1973-74 Schwinn Le Tour
This is David's 1973-74 Schwinn Le Tour.  It was found in a barn missing the front wheel and the rear brake caliper had the tiniest little broken finger that holds the cable yoke in place.   The yoke cable did not seat properly so the rear brake did not work.  I believe that is why the bike showed little wear except for years of dust.

The frame had hardly a scratch on it and with all new cables and housing, modern brake levers and a comfortable seat this may be the best looking and conditioned 40 year old Le Tour you will ever find.
