-The Le Tour is True Temper 4130 throughout and the Prelude is Columbus Tenax main tubes with chrome-moly stays.

-The Le Tour fork is Mangalloy and the Prelude fork is Tange hi-ten.

-The Le Tour geometry is a little tighter with a HT of 73, ST of 74, & 39.4" wheelbase compared to the Prelude with 72.5 HT & ST and 39.75" wheelbase.

-Both have 700c wheels.

-Both have the same braze-ons (eyelets, DT shifter bosses, 2 sets of bottle cage bosses, etc.).

-The Prelude is listed stock at 24 lbs and the Le Tour is listed at 25 lbs.

The Prelude is one level above the Le Tour in both '87 and '89, but given the specs above (from the Schwinn catalogs), what differences would you expect in the ride/feel of the two bikes? Some of the 1lb weight difference is probably in the components, but what would you think the difference is in the weight of the frames? Does the feel of the nicer tubeset of the Prelude get lost in the geometry difference, at least to the point where there's no discernable difference (if there was to begin with)? Which would you prefer and why?
