i'm pretty sure that the slight weight gain will be more than offset by the aero advantage the bike has. especially riding into wind. but i agree with you completely on the justification part. you already have a fantastic bike (sub 14lb 
), if you don't have cash burning a hole in your pocket, it makes no sense 
cheers

Yes sir!
Agree, that triple still needs to go yet. Good transformation though.

Not new but new Shimano wheels, FSA compact handlebars and reflective GP4000 25mm tires.
Yes, I know that the chain should be on the big chain gear.

one of the nice looking schwinn's I have seen. I think a black stem would make a big difference for the better IMO

The Schinn is hot - nice to see them making bikes I want again. However - it's not photographed very well.

Schwinn is Hot. Will look even better with a black stem, I agree.

(I should point out that I weigh ~215lbs, so give me a nice long hill and even coasting I can get up there.)
Incidentally, have you noticed a decent improvement w/ the Zipps?

Hot except for the red tires and bar tape. Are those steel, titanium, or aluminum lugs? Either way, it looks great.

Sorry - I was just yanking your chain a little. As this thread has gone on we sort of came up with some rules to photograph the bike. Chain needs to be in the big chain ring (some say big in front, small in back), crank arm has to be aligned with chain stay, bike has to be against even background (garage door), ect...
