Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Aluminum Schwinn

This is not my first fixed gear bicycle, but it is my first conversion.
Not sure what frame it is if anyone knows please inform me.

Not doubting you, just curious. How can you tell from the picture whether the bike is steel or aluminum?

The tubes don't look the slightest bit oversized. Cannondale road frames tend to have smaller diameter tubes than most other alu frames, but this isn't a C-dale.

Looks like a Schwinn 564. I have the same bike but I actually left the stuff that is supposed to be on there, on there.

If he had posted a decent picture, like this one, I would have agreed. But from the MacBook crap he posted, there's no way to see that the tubes are O/S.
