Schwinn Peloton buildup!

Wish I had pictures, but yesterday I got my new-to-me Schwinn Peloton. It's circa 99 or 2000, Reynolds 853 tubing with an aftermarket Ritchey carbon fork and a carbon seatpost. For being 10+ years old, it is a beaut. I'm really, really happy with the condition of the frame. A few paint chips as expected but no rust, it's been well taken care of, even the BB housing is pristine.

The plan is as follows:

Wheels from my current road bike, FSA 400's
Crank: FSA Gossamer triple
Shifters, brakes and RD: Campy Daytonas from the brother-in-law
FD: Campy mirage from ebay
Bars, stem, BB, tape, cables and housing from ebikestop.


If the wife hadn't taken the camera with her this weekend I would have pictures. Soon! I am excited to have a nice, quick, comfortable bike at a reasonable price.
