After borrowing a digital camera and spending a considerable amount of time unsuccessfully trying to get it to focus on closeup shots, I have given up posting pics of the headbadge. It definitely ends in 7, though. The red paint around the star has been removed (unless it came like that, which I've never seen before) and it's sort of loose, so perhaps it's a replacement, but it says Schwinn Japan, instead of Schwinn Chicago like my 1987 Premis. Oh, and I took the fork off, and it's definitely a replacement, so that answers that question.

However, I've been commuting on it since I started this thread, and I'm just about ready to strip it down, put the components on the Premis, and give it away. Why, you ask? Well, it's got terrible BB flex. No matter how much I tweak the limit screws and trim the front derailer, I still get lots of chain rub inside the cage when I pedal, even at moderate speeds when I'm not really cranking. I even tried bending out the derailer cage to make it wider. This seems strange to me since the steel on this thing is not particularly lightweight. Has anybody else had a similar experience, and is there anything I can do to correct it?

Also, any tips on how to make a digital camera focus on closeup stuff? I was thwarted from posting two new components on velobase.com because the pics were too sloppy to make it worth it. I've tried changing the little icon in the corner of the screen from the mountain to the flower, which I assume changes the focus from far away shots to up close shots, but after that I'm at a loss.
