You should clarify something, though: do you want a singlespeed (freewheel), or a fixed-gear? Its really not that different, except that the fixed-gear is going to require a new rear wheel.
Oh, I'm going to do a singlespeed freewheel and i was thinking of getting a new wheelset anyways because the wheelset on the Prologue is already a little old and is turning a gross dark color haha.
My friend suggested to buy the Prologue and to convert it because the Schwinn was a more top end bike? Not sure if he knows his stuff though. Is the Kilo $200 more than the Schwinn or the other way around?
Funny thing though, I took the bike to a local bike shop because I had no idea of how to take the cassette off and they said its too old and that they didnt have the tools to take it apart... I didnt really like that bike shop anyways but that just added to their fail.
But yeah, I'm thinking of just selling the old wheelset on Craigs or something because I got a friend who can sell me a new wheelset for like 60 which isnt that bad?
