this Schwinn Prologue frame (not the TT-Funnybike) last week on E-bay (Tange Prestige Tubing - Frame is referred to as Poor Man's Paramount). Frame weight from
the old catalog showed a frame weight of approximately 5.9-lbs (not too bad for Steel, worth it for the ride experience). I've lined up another bike with some components for ~$350 shipped. My intention is to remove those components and build up this frame, and possibly resell the other frame (being vague as that transaction has not fully occurred just yet - in my opinion I'm getting it at a fair price, and should get my "new" road bike at almost no expense if the frame I'll be pulling components off of resells for what I think it might) - provided I don't get the urge to keep that bike full and in tact.
Last night the stars aligned and the owner of the other bike seems to be going forward, so I went ahead and put the winning bid on the Prologue Frame at the last 7 seconds. One thing I noticed was that the Prologue appears to be missing the seatpost skewer. I sent the seller a message asking if they had one for it available, if they do not - does anyone here have one? Also does anyone know the retail for what the frame originally sold for from Schwinn? Once I get the frame in I'll make some measurements on the Skewer. Seems there was a post somewhere from someone having difficulties locating one for theirs.



Its a beauty!
