1987 Schwinn LeTour update


I am getting farther and farther away from the easy fix and flip idea I had for the LeTour,  this weekend I gave the frame a good clean, and then attacked some rust with naval jelly.




Rust treated, I obtained some touch-up paint, which was cheap at .99 cents.




It's no where near a match but I am really just trying to protect the bare metal from further rust.  I will let things dry for a day or two and then give the frame a waxing.


While waiting on the frame I ran the headset and bottom bracket through the sonic cleaner.


The derailleurs got a bath too and I am hoping to get started hanging parts off a waxed frame soon.

Ride. Smile. Rehab. Repeat
