Great job!
How does it ride?
I'll take it out in the morning. It rode great with the temporary wheelset I had on it (before the trade with Robbie). I went back and forth on the bottle cages. Decided with the black rims and hubs, that black looked the best (out of what I had in hand of course).

+1 The Schwinn Prologue is one of those really nice Schwinns, that was on my short list. Took me two years to find one my size, at a realistic (thrifty bill) price.

I've got a red Chris King headset take off I have thought about putting on this bike. Unfortunately, the Chris King red is almost burgundy, which I don't think will look that good on this bike.
