The LeTour is a mid-level bike, and a very good value for new riders. There were several lugged steel models above the LeTour, like my 1987 Circuit, the Peloton, and then the Paramount. I am sure someone out there might correct me, but I think that was the order of the line. I don't think the LeTour had butted tubes, but it seemed to be well constructed and had functional, if not slick, components. Ron 'loves my Circuit, and might buy a Waterford' Gurth
