Designed for the more serious recreational rider who isn’t going to actually race, but likes to go fast nonetheless. The rider who may only get out once or twice a week but one of those rides will be for 3 or 4 hours on a Sunday and who still wants to feel human when he gets home. The rider who isn’t embarrassed by the third chainring, but rather, relishes the prospect of the climbing it will allow him to do.
This Schwinn Le Tour Elite is this style of bike.
With the frame manufactured from lightweight double butted aluminium and fitted with carbon fibre forks and seat stays Schwinn have ensured a quality basis on which to build the bike, and with relaxed angles ensuring a comfortable stable ride, the 4 hour Sunday rider will have no cause for complaint. Assembled with a combination of Shimano 105 and Tiagra components along with an FSA cartridge bottom bracket and a triple chainring crankset, the rider can be confident of completing any ride he sets out on.  
Schwinn may have taken their time getting here, but sales of bikes like the Le Tour Elite may see them decide to hang around downunder for a while to come.
