You're right... but it costs another $17.99 to ship them, all in US dollars, of course. I paid $20 CAD for mine.

Since they are a narrower bar you will probably need shims to mount things.
My installation didn't require shims. That being said I couldn't tell you the diameter of my bars. It's probably stamped on them somewhere.

Yeah my bike is a seven speed in back w/ Tourney rear derailleur. Cheapest of the cheap in the brand name derailleur world, but it's gotten me through about 3,000 miles so far and shows no signs of giving up, so...
The rear wheel was originally a freewheel design, but when I replaced the rear wheel (for the second time) in January, I got one with a freehub.
Love the winter warrior photo BTW! I'll try to post some new ones of my own tomorrow night (going to a concert tonight, so probably won't have time).
Yeah, my fork set-up seems a little archaic. Not only is it threaded, it's a 1 inch (25.4mm) fork.
The winter set-up includes Schwalbe Marathon Winter tires and platform pedals. The PB Cascadia fenders are the most important pieces of winter equipment next to the studs IMHO. Do you ride your Schwinn in the winter too, or does in even snow much in VA?
