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

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
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.

New (well old) eBay roady F & F arrived today - Schwinn Fastback Pro:

Large frame & Cane Creek IS2 headset = 1462g
Carbon fork & crownrace = 556g

Overall really pleased - great condition. Got to love unfashionable brand names.

looks great, been sniffing round mr p's plastic bike as I too fancy a bit of modern road bike niceness- looking forward to finished pics and first ride report.
