  1. Hey guys,

    So i just picked up a Le Jeune Special Tour de France road bike at a yard sale for 10 bucks. I don't know anything about this brand but i figured for ten bucks I might as well get it. Does anyone know if this is a good bike? Here is a picture:

    It definitely need some work, new tires, new front brakes, and theres a decent amount of rust on the body/ wheels, and also some on the gear but not very much. Anybody have any tips on how to best deal with the rust? I've never restored a bike before so any help is appreciated. I'm probably going to take it to this local place that helps people build bikes in exchange for a few hours of community service, but until then I could use some tips, and also would like to know what kind of quality bike this was when it was brand new.
     
  2. good luck.... it needs an engine too
     
  3. thanks for the advice...
