if weight is an important factor to you allow me to suggest a cannondale capo. sometimes deals can be had. for example I got mine complete for 300.

Weight isn't a huge factor; I just want it to be lighter than what I have. I know if I make my goal weight loss I'll spend way to much on parts. My other components aren't super light anyway.

What's the tubing on your Schwinn? Double/triple-butted chromoly can be pretty damn light, lighter than cheap aluminum, which you'd basically be getting at a $275 price point.
