Bikes: '9? SS Schwinn Frontier

2007 (apparently hard to find?) white maddy. REAL track geometry

before tape and other components


after first upgrades




I got this bike a while ago with the intention of riding it on the track. after i got the bike and rode the hell out of it i saw that there was a lot of criticism about it (especially as an actual TRACK bike) so i decided to upgrade it towards more of a street feel.

i have half come to the conclusion that since i am a big guy, this bike should be okay for me as entry level track racing. i just dont like the thought of being laughed off the track :/ but AYHSMB.

current upgrades:
surly cog
dura ace lockring (formula one stripped)
profile design pursuits with fizik tape and cane creek tt lever
thompson elite seatpost and stem
black gr-9s with christophes and exustar straps

very near future upgrades:
clipless pedals and shoes
dura ace 7600 cranks (already purchased)
track drops
some kind of 144 bcd 50 or 51t chainring (recommendations?)
moar cogs
