The frame is a 1977 Schwinn Super Le Tour 12.2. The clear coat on it was getting a little ratty and cloudy so I stripped and waxed it. I can get new decals for it but for now I'm really liking the bare chrome frame with just a headbadge
I was aiming to push slightly fewer gear inches than my BMX bike to account for some light sustained climbing. Hard to ride for too long with this setup though as I'm exclusively out of the saddle unless sitting to rest in some flat sections-- 45mins and I was toast!
The Schwinn looks awesome! Looks great with the black accents, too. Keeping that in mind for my future chrome build
