Superb. I really like it. Rear triangle look sweet and stiff. You're master of good deals :D

Even to my limited knowledge of road bike that looks very sweet indeed.Whats the build up and purpose? road speedy speedy only or the all rounder?
 
Cheers gents.

Andy - basically it'll just be my road bike. I originally built up the big.eck Trek at the start of the year to see if I'd enjoy pure roadying. And I do. Problem with the Trek is it's a medium, and getting comfy on it has been a chore - After resorting to fitting a 130mm 25 degree trials stem and getting closer to it actually fitting, I realised I could continue to waste time trying to make a small frame fit, or I could get one in the right size. Enter the large Schwinn.

I'll transplant almost everything over from the Trek, although I did splash on a new stem and bars. I'll also need a new 34.9 front mech. Should have a seatpost to fit in box of spares. Do love the excitement of something new!

Me too. But can't let go any bike as I need and love them all and can't justify new bike either. I think I've lost my meaning of life... Looking forward when this bike will be build up.

Ditto :D
Will hopefully be arriving next week.
[Obviously theres another lever and 2 more lever caps that dont have any marks on them as you see with these two :? Seems scratches even minor ones are near impossible to hide.Just as well these 2 will be the underneath caps so will never be seen.
Hope team green adjuster is the plan.
