Just some pics of my near-complete 80's Schwinn Super Le Tour Mother Road Custom Single Speed. Many, many hours of metal brushing, sanding, grinding, priming, sanding again, undercoating, sanding again, black metal flake top coats, then clear lacquer coats. It still needs a final clear coat, then bar tape. Another Super Le Tour, a vintage Bianchi, a vintage Fuji, a vintage Trek, a vintage Schwinn Continental (original restoration), and a Schwinn Le Tour are in waiting. All leading to me being able to "finance" my dream vintage bike, a Colnago road bike (they're expensive and hard to find). A full gallery of the Super Le Tour can be found here .
