for $12.... its pretty beat up. I plan on fixing it up and setting it up as a single speed with a flip-flop hub for when i feel like riding fixed.

would this wheelset be okay?

this is my first roadbike BTW...i was going to get a Motobecane Messenger from BD but i saw this bike today and figured $12 wasn't that bad. to get it ride ready i guess all i have to do is replace the brakes so i don't die and definitely the tires/innertube.

so uh...any tips for a newb

Sum rims get high marks from reviews I've seen. And DT spokes are top-of-the-line. I'm not aware of this hub, though. I'd go hunt up some reviews (Google) to be sure. Other than that - looks really nice, and it's in the proper 27" for your Schwinn. Price is good as well.

sweet. ill do some research.

right now im trying to figure out how much work needs to be done to it. only thing i have done so far is put on handlebar tape. im going to take it into a LBS to get some advice and a quote on a tune up
