Here's my Schwinn LeTour that I bought when I was either 14 or 15 years old from my paper route money. It is the second one that I owned. The previous one in racing yellow was stolen

So doing the math, it's about 35 or 36 years old. I recently put a new bottle cage on, new seat, tires and re-wrapped the handle bars. Still rides perfectly! I ride about 20-30 miles a week to make some attempt at staying in shape.
