Thanks dudes. I love the schwinn too. The color is awesome, I wish the paint were better, it's actually pretty beat up, but it looks awesome from a few feet away. I have both brakes on it because that way I have two brake levers and two hoods to use. It'd be a little cooler with just the front but then I'd either have a hood with no lever or a floppy lever (no return spring). Easier just to have two brakes.

The wheels are just old 27" off a motobecane super mirage. Normandy hubs with weinmann rims. So it's a "suicide" hub, but realistically I don't think a real fixed hub would work any better. The dish would be better but that cog isn't going anywhere. It's got a bb lockring holding it on and it's loctited too.
