The Prelude is the "worst of the best" in the Schwinn lineup for 1987. It is the lowest bike in the line to have the Columbus Tenax tubing. I believe it does have the racing geometry; felt kind of "twitchy" when I first started riding it, but quickly grew accustomed to the responsiveness. But it also, as brockd15 mentions, have eyelets, downtube bosses and bottle cage bosses. It's a pretty nice bike. Right now it's the fastest one I own.
