Here Is Another One.....

Any guess as to what year this LeTour is? Asking $75. It is up near where I have to go pick up my wife from the airport this weekend.

Based on what I can see in the catalogs, it is likely a 74. The chrome looks like it might be completely shot...

Probably a 74.

I concur, everything I see says it is a 1974 (first year for these) model.

Could be 74-76...they used Opaque Blue all 3 years.

I forgot to throw the bike rack in the trunk when I left on Saturday, and the wife said I couldn't put it in the back seat....

If that means you didnt get it, you weren't missing much. I suggest at this point you start searching out perticular bikes that spark your interests rather than whats just popping up cheap. Look thru pictures and catalogs and find something you really like and hunt that one out.

But I like them all! Saw a truck going down the street with a load of stuff that included what looked like a mid 70's brown Collegiate. Almost followed him to see what it was, but decided that might come off as a little creepy. I have four bikes that need various levels of restoration already, so I am going to slow down unless I see something too sweet to pass up.
