More info on Schwinn track bike

[Ta Herrera]

Hello to prospective track bike buyers.  Attached is a little more info
on the bike that Emerson posted to the group.  It is not a very
high-end bike, but with the extra chainrings and the $20 discount he has
offered to members of the UW team, it is a very reasonable bike for
someone to race on.  With fast wheels, this can be a fast bike! (Not
much to a track bike other than good bars and good wheels.)

Ta,  It's one Schwinn made specifically for Track, looks very similar 
to what they have for the track classes (may be the same?).  White 
frame with Red highlighting, Sugino components. As far as condition, 
looks very well kept, minimal scratches,etc.  No major crashes.  Just 
put new training type tubulars on it, the wheels are the originals 
(training type wheels).  Wheels have some nicks/scratches, a little out 
of true but are still within the useable range (I would use better ones 
for racing, but ok for training).  My wife used it for a while, but she 
ended up getting a Rossin & rides that now.      Regards, Roger

Ta, Forgot to mention that I have a 49 & 48 chainrings, 15, 16, 17 cogs 
to go with it.  If it's for someone on the UW womens team, I would take 
$280 for it as they have limited funds while going to school (I remember 
those days!)   Regards, Roger
