I live for the CABE
I picked up a 73-74 ish schwinn le tour and I want to upgrade it a little bit. I’ve got a few ideas but I’d like some second opinions.
First off: does anyone know if there’s a sealed bearing replacement for the bottom bracket
Second: I plan on converting the rear to a 6 or 7 speed; should I use a vintage suntour derailleur or a modern one?
Third: does anyone know how wide of tires I can fit on the arayas that came with the bike or the iso numbers for the rims?
Thank you and I’ll keep the build updated here.
