The Prelude Road Bike looks more like something I'm might be caught dead on (read: had a snowball's chance of getting up the hill on). It would take something more than a sub $300 price tag to get me back on a wedgie - something on the order of an electric motor. But, In the past decade I've been on a wedgie fewer than a dozen times, but when I do more often than not it's gonna be my '74 Le Tour, not the much newer, much lighter Randonee. Apparently some people think ill of Schwinn over their bikes being too durable. When Schwinn releases a 'bent I will for sure get one, even if I have to go to WalMart to get it. |

Is there any relationship between new Schwinns and old Schwinns, besides the name? - Frank Krygowski my '74 LeTour was made in Japan - not the "Chicago steel" if that's what you mean. I wouldn't expect the differences to be any more or less than between a '74 Fairlane and a '10 Fusion For $160, it comes with fenders and a rack - that sounds pretty practical to me. See this regarding the prices of Schwinns made in Chicago back in the '70s: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/schwinn-braze.html I'm thinking that if you adjust the prices for inflation, the price/ performance is a wash even if these new ones only lasted 2 or 3 years instead of 20 or 30. Of course everything is cheaper now, in '74 people only had 1 phone, 1 TV, 1 car... we had much smaller foot prints, not as small as in the '60's but way smaller than post Reagan. |
