Thanks, Rosy!
I believe the frame is from'96.
The Schwinn is a Passage - not one of the cool ones with cantilevers, but a later model. Full Shimano RX100, Exage brakes. The drivetrain works very well, not crazy about the brakes. I've got some old Weinmanns kixking around here. I think centerpulls would be awesome, for some strange reason. That frame & fork have unbelievable tire clearance, and would probably be ok for CX use... I keep meaning to post it up on the catch of the day, but I've had it for the better part of 2 years... Oh, yeah, it's double butted 4130 and rides very nicely. Taiwanese built, so there's likely a Giant version of the same bike as well.

Oh, yeah - the paint! the fork is a rattlecan-red-over-Trek-babypoopgreen/gold, and the frame looks pretty good from a distance. It could sure stand a powdercoating, but I'm really in no hurry. Kinda hate to throw a bunch of money at this... Especially with some of the other neat things in the queue.

Thanks for looking.
