I can be vague when focusing on two different topics, so my question made zero sense to many.
As for the bike, I'm not to fond of them just because i feel they are overpriced for what you are getting. If you are looking for a budget fixed gear I'd go for a mercier kilo tt(my buddy just got his and it rides nice), or the motobecane from ebay/bikesdirect. I have been riding my motobecane close to 140-150 miles a week since last november and I have had very few problems with the bike.
edit: I have not ridden the Schwinn, I am basing my opinion off the specs. Also the motobecane has waterbottle braze ons, just a little extra.
Well the Schwinn isn't too expensive but I wouldn't say it's a budget model. The Windsor doesn't come with brakes and the whole component setup is lesser than the Schwinn.
Most people here probably don't really care about the brakes though.
