My vintage Schwinn Le Tour (Ladies frame)

I bought this bike several years ago for $50 from a Salvation Army thrift store. It needed new tires and tubes (all rotten) and still had the original seat in good condition, but was painful (to me) to use.

I put in $50 in new tires and tubes initially and rode it quite a lot. Then I bought a rear rack and the MWave Double Day pannier bags last year and have used them extensively.

The bottle holder I've had for a good 13 years or more. It's just a cheap plastic universal one but I've had it on several bikes and even a little goped gas scooter at one time. I had it mounted lower on this bike at first, but I tend to wear jeans and the pant leg likes to catch on the holder or bottle, or both.

The mirror I bought many months back, but just now got around to installing on the bike. Maybe it'll be useful, it it doesn't end up broken last the last 2 or 3 mirrors I bought on the first or second time out in the past 14 years or so. I usually don't bother, but that one was cheap and seems fairly sturdy. We shall see.

I want to get some fenders for it eventually since it can get really rainy at times up here in the Seattle area.
