I have a sister bike to yours I purchased mine in 93 it was a demo bike from 92. I commute on lugged steel bikes and then take the Trek out on fun rides. You are going to be amazed at the differance between your Schwinn Continental and the bonded Alu. Trek. I hope your weather is favorable for ride soon -The 105 shifters on our 1400's have index and friction mode so you can test her out with out having do dial in the indexing.
