I beleive you all are right, eventually I'll move on. Right now I intend to keep this bike as a back-up for club rides after I build my Nishiki. Who knows, perhaps one of my other bikes will fit that purpose better. I do have too much into the bike, but fortunately most of those items will work on my other bikes, so it's really not a loss. I've considered getting fit for a bike, but a new bike is not in my near future, and I don't trust any of the local shops to be able to fit me properly. After my experiences in just talking with them, they are geared toward race-fit, and I am built for comfort, not speed. Therefore they'd want to steer me toward a comfort bike, and my Schwinn has that covered nicely.

I can ride for hours on this bike.

I was just happy to have found a workable fit on it again. It's good news for my other bikes that have smaller frames but the same top tube measurement. Now I need to get crackin working on my Nishiki and Special Road Racer to have them ready for the spring.
