I thought I should add one of my Schwinns - 1985 Schwinn Peloton. I used to drool over the Schwinn catalog for one of these when I was younger and found one in almost my size a month ago. It's a 50cm TT, I tend to ride 52cm. I am still playing around with stems to use. I do have the original Cinelli stem, but it is too short.

Owner replaced some parts with modern Shimano indexing, such as a right DT shifter, rear derailleur and front derailleur. Got them all replaced with Suntour Superb Pro. Wheels were replaced with clinchers. Dura Ace hubs and Ambrosia 19 Extra rims, not bad.
