| From Schwinn Le Tour 1974 |
I found this gem crammed in a forgotten shed on Long Island. It was long neglected - deformed brake calipers, rusty cables, a rear derailleur twisted out of recognition. Recognizing the true worth of this marvel, I pried it loose from the tangle of heirloom tomato seeds and Smith and Hawken shovels.
I shipped it out to my bicycle trauma facility in San Francisco and started work.
After a battery of treatments, including:
- 3 weekends
- 3 recablings
- New redrailleur
- New front brakes
- New saddle
the bike was back to new. Pity the man who neglected it.
