Really fast, light, aluminum race bike with nice upgrades! for sale in Eden, UT
Took this out yesterday to see what it could do. Pulled off a 25.13 mile ride in 1:18:23 for a very fast 19.2 mph avg and that's with 400 ft of climbing along the way. This bike will flat out fly! That was a solo effort no drafting off a group. Bought this a few years ago and then my adult son "stole" it for a few years to use. Swapped him bikes and now I've got it back. Got bored a couple of weeks ago and did the upgrades to it I had been planning for awhile. Fixed it up like I wanted it because if it doesn't sell this will be this year's winter bike. Parts upgrades: STI shifters - $75 Like New Soma HWY One Handlebars - $50 New Cinelli Quill Stem - $80 New Selle Italia Flite Saddle - $94 New Jagwire Housing and Cables - $20 New KMC X8 Chain - $17 New Sram Cork handlebar tape - $9 New Innertubes 2x - $9 New Cassette - $25 Bottle cages 2x -$20 New Bottle cage bolts - $7 New Total for new parts: $406 I also just put $30 into it getting the wheels trued up. Very nice set of Continental 4 season tires on it. Fast yet puncture resistant. This bike is from an era when Schwinn consulted with Klein bikes on making a high end aluminum bike to compete with the Cannondales and Kleins of the timeperiod. This bike is fast and quite comfortable out on the road. The top tube and seat tube measure around 54.6 cm (21.5") center to center with a 32 inch standover. I just need to continue downsizing the collection so this one is being offered up. Please note, the paint is not as nice as it looks in the pictures. There are the usual scrapes to be expected from a bike of this vintage. That said everything works wonderfully and this needs nothing to be taken out and enjoyed. All bearings areas in the hubs, headset, and BB were serviced by me when I got the bike and my son really didn't hardly put any miles on it when he had it. This quote is from a facebook page dedicated to these wonderful old bike: "In the late 80's to early 90's Schwinn decided as a last ditch effort to make an "affordable" high performance racing road bicycle. Licensing several patents - welding techniques and frame building ideas from Klein Bicycle Corp(Gary Klein was MIT graduate who was the first to produce a light weight aluminum oversize tubing for bicycle frames) the Schwinn PDG Aluminum was born! PDG (Paramount Design Group) was the high end Schwinn race engineering and design division in charge of those amazing racing frames that made Schwinn and Paramount famous for decades and PDG was put in charge of making designing the glorious valkyries of aluminum and passion (the PDG aluminum bikes), at least to me.
