Tour De Luxe
Finally riding a big boys bike
This was a gutter find in my neighborhood. I cleaned it up and replaced all the rubber and greased it up. Put on some Schwalbe H-159 tires to replace the OEM Schwinn Puff High Pressure Road Racers. Still have the Puffs if a collector is interested. They actually don’t look that bad, but I wouldn’t go screaming down at hill at 30 mph with those old tires.
The bike had a fair amount of surface rust, but OA and elbow grease cleaned it up nicely. I listed it on Craigslist in Charlotte, but no takers. It rides nice and looks great. Looking for $125 to cover my costs. Probably would only make sense for a local pickup. I am, however heading out on an RV trip through the Northeast in two weeks, so could arrange a drop off in PA, NY, Quebec or MaineView attachment 1651665

I’m more of a rider than collector, so don’t need another road bike in my garage.
