  1. Hi Guys I am mainly a MTB rider, but looking at a road bike for something a bit different. I have come across this 2007 Schwinn Fastback Elite for R6000-00 at my LBS. It has been ridden a few time (maybe less than 500k's) so no real sign of any use. They have (kindly) let me take it and ride it for a few days, so I can decide if I like it or not. What you all think, a good by or not?? Here are the Specs Frame: Schwinn Super Butted 'N'Litened' Gold label smooth welded aluminum with Black Label carbon fiber seat stays, race geometry, IS standard integrated head tube, forged dropouts w/ replaceable hanger, and 2x H2O bottle. Fork: Schwinn Black Label Carbon Pro carbon fiber w/ 1 1/8" alloy steerer & forged dropouts. Rear Shock: n/a Drivetrain Crankset: Truvativ Elita SL compact forged alloy w/ 50/36T 7075 CNC chainrings. Bottom Bracket: Truvativ Giga X Pipe w/ external bearings Front Derailleur: Shimano 105 31.8 down-pull Rear Derailleur: Shimano 105 10sp SS Shifters: Shimano 105 10sp STI Freewheel: Shimano 105 10sp 11-23T Chain: Shimano CN-5600 super narrow Wheels Rims: Kore Gradient II complete wheelset Tires: Schwalbe Blizzard Kevlar 700x23 Front Hub: Kore Gradient II complete wheelset, sealed cartridge bearing, 24h Rear Hub: Kore Gradient II complete wheelset, sealed cartridge bearing, 28h Spokes: Kore Gradient II complete wheelset Nipples: Kore Gradient II complete wheelset Components Pedals: n/a Front Brake: Tektro RX-40 dual pivot caliper Rear Brake: Tektro RX-40S single pivot caliper Brake Levers: Shimano 105 10sp STI Handlebar: Ritchey Comp 31.8 butted alloy, width to suit frame size Stem: Ritchey Logic Comp V2 31.8 3D forged w/ 4-bolt stem cap Grips: Schwinn gel tape with embossed star logo Headset: FSA IS-3 integrated ACB bearing Aheadset Saddle: Selle San Marco Ponza Seat Post: Ritchey Comp V2 27.2x350mm Seat Clamp: Schwinn forged / CNC w/ Cr-Mo Allen bolt
