Schwinn Le Tour frankenstein

This is my first fix gear bike. Learning more everyday. This has renewed my love of cycling. Have not tried the freewheel yet, but anticipate using it in the future for long rides. I sanded and stripped the frame, and removed all cable guides myself. Powder coating or paint still to come, prior to the rainy season. I highly recommend the Le Tour frame. I’m 6’1” and this frame is 24.5” center to center on the seat tube. Fits me great. Stand over height takes some getting used to. This bike is solid and corners well on the 700x23c tires, no issues yet with 170 cranks. I may move to 25c tires with more tread for the winter.
Building a bike up from a yard sale frame is quite and enjoyable process. I would recommend to anyone thinking of buying a newer cheap wielded frame, or Chinese’s made complete setup, to hold off. Find a unique lugged frame a yard sale or thrift store and build the bike up yourself. Do the research and enjoy the uniqueness of your ride!
