OMG! Schwinn Score-Chicago Porn!

I was looking for an old bike with a Brooks saddle on it, so I could flip the bike and put the Brooks on the old Fuji. That's all. Honest. I found one on the local CL for less than a new saddle, so I went to check it out. And look what I found:

This frame is the same size as the Fuji (23" BB to TT), and just about the same weight. Looks almost all original, except for the rear derailleur and skewer. Rear wheel is bent, chain is bone-dry, doesn't shift great, but-it's a clean Chicago frame. Wow. Oh yeah, the Brooks is a B-15, nicely broken in. I'd rather be lucky than good!
