1978 Schwinn Le Tour III, reasonable asking price?
Question:I have a 1978 Schwinn Le Tour III lightweight bicycle that I want to sell. It is in average condition. Any ideas as to what it is worth - what a reasonable asking price would be?

Do you use a "intermittent hypoxic training" system for training ?
Wow.. the above answers are generous.The LeTour was a good bike in it's day, and I think it sold originally for about $300 if I'm not mistaken. There was nothing too special about it other than the Schwinn name which actually meant something then. I also think that this was the first or second year that they were imported bikes rather than U.S. built.
I would be REALLY happy with $100 if the bike is in excellent shape. If it shows wear the price will drop dramatically.

Much depends on the exact condition, scratches, finish etc.But on ebay, bikes like that rarely go for more than 200-300 at the top end.
Schwinns _may_ have more value to a collector, but the Le Tour III is not usually the kind that people lust after.
Be sure to take lots of well-lighted, in focus, up close pictures of the various parts, any scratches, parts accessories, decals etc.
Good luck

p.s. is it Red?
Specialized stumpjumper comp m3 and 2004 iron horse?
I say about 400 dollars.For a bmx bike if i chanced the cranks to a shorter set would it make the bike slower?
I am stunned by the previous answers! Unless it's in phenomenal, perfect condition, a more likely price would be $100. Maybe $120. (And, depending on the condition and market, it could be more like $60.) It's a ten-speed with 120mm rear dropouts; straight steel (no chromoly, etc.).All that said, you may find the one person who's just dying to have your exact bike, and you could sell it to him/her for more.
