Try 30yrs out of date. These old bikes had good parts on them for the time but are just old! However the frames, this one being an execelent example, are awesome and make for great Single Speed road machines. They can be much cheaper than a new SS build and will likely have more class.

Oh and your Super Le Tour Kicks ASS! I have always wanted a chrome bike.

Nothing wrong with dust on the bottle

These will outlast the farce of global warming, a nuclear blast,
and just about any disaster, natural or man made
IN STYLE as well...

Farce –noun 1. a light, humorous play in which the plot depends upon a skillfully exploited situation rather than upon the development of character.
2. humor of the type displayed in such works.
3. foolish show; mockery; a ridiculous sham.
4. Al Gore
