Seven is really hot stuff. I rode one in Jackson hole (not fit to me) and it was awesome. Pics?

Schwinn is just a name, not the family. Been that way for 20+ years. All made in China these days. If you want a "real" Schwinn, get a Waterford. Still owned by Richard Schwinn in the Waterford, WI plant.

Here's my '87 Schwinn Paramount with a mix of Campy Record/Chorus kit. Wonderful, comfortable lugged steel. Have tried Ti, carbon, Al and such, but always come back to lugged steel. Just so much more comfortable.

And a McIntosh in the background for good measure.

I'm with you there. That's why I got the IndyFab and the Soma. Of course, just like audio, YMMV, but I love the steel frames. I haven't tried Ti yet, but plan to do so with another IndyFab frame at some point.

Great bikes out there. Keep them coming.

Here's my other lugged steel bike. '97 Serotta CSi with the same mix of Campy Record/Chorus kit. Mavic Pro 32 on the front and 36 on the rear. Those are the Flat-irons in the background. This is during one of our CO rides. We rode from Boulder up over Trail Ridge road and then drove over and rode up and down Mt. Evans. From the mid-90s thru 2008 I would visit a friend in Boulder and we ride for a week, or so. Have done the Bicycle Tour of Colorado three times and recommend it to anyone who would like to ride in the Rockies. Have also heard that Ride the Rockies is a good ride, though I've not done it.

Awesome bike. About to go to a rail/trail here in Atlanta (silver comet) for a good long Fourth of July ride. Nothing as majestic as the Rockies, but not bad.
