    Schwinn Le Tour – Parts
    The Date Code on the Head Badge is 1811
    This LeTour was Assembled on June 30, 1981
    The part number of the rim is UKAIRIM 27  X 1 1/4 W/O  MADE IN JAPAN (see the last picture)
    The model number on the freewheel is Shimano UG (see the 5th picture)
    I had originally planned to restore the complete bike, but the paint on the frame was too far gone.  However, after being cleaned up, these wheels are in “like new” condition.
    You may be able to find some of these parts for less money, but keep in mind that you would need to put in the time and effort to restore these parts.  I have done that for you.
    The serial number on the dropout is 1I04808
    If you are looking to restore a Le Tour these are excellent clean parts that may work for you.

    Notes:
    I have bought and sold well over 2500 items on eBay and have received positive feedback comments on all previous sales and purchases - please take a look.
    As part of that 2500 count I’ve bought and sold perhaps 80 bikes, most have been Schwinn’s and Trek Fuel’s.
    Finally, while I've taken great care in describing this item and other items I sell as to their condition, I am not a company and so this item is sold "As Is" and therefore I am not in a position to accept their return in the case of a problem.
    Thank you very much for viewing my auction and if you are the winning bidder congratulations on your purchase.
