Bay Area of FL, $100 OBO for this Schwinn Tempo that looks like someone wrapped it with Ciclo Linea tape and didn't even ride it enough to wear through the first taping. I always like bikes with seat packs, I've found many jewel in them.

$100 for a almost unused 105 7 speed kit? Not a bad deal.

I looked at a bunch of other Preludes online, and unless they all have the most slightly bent forks (they don't), your fork is just fine. Every company is different in their fork blade curving, and some curve profiles look less confidence-inspiring. To me, with what I've seen online, you're fine and the bike is good to go.
Nice job on finding the balance point for the bar "stand." How long did that take to do?

That's not the problem. You notice two things immediately. First is the direct inch-gearing on the things; if you have a 60-inch front wheel you have a 60 gear, 72 = 72, and so on, with no way to shift because there's nothing to shift to. The second thing you notice is where the steering articulation occurs; right in front of your crotch. And if you've never ridden a fixie (as I had not) you'll notice the third thing when you try to coast.

Anyone near PDX may want to strongly consider this. While I'm generally against parting out bikes, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't picked over a couple of these mid-70s tank-ish 1040 MB touring frames.
At $75 on this auction you get: Stronglight 49D crankset (resells w/o caps for $60-80), Stronlight P3 or V4 headset (I forget which OTOH), Stronglight 8-side BB with 118 spindle, a nice set of MAFAC half-hooded locking levers (even though the lock can be futzy), Suntour CompeV/VGT drivetrain with ratcheting levers, Atom/Normandy high flange wheelset with 27" Weinmann alloys, Pivo alloy stem usually with Pivo alloy bars. It's virtually everything (minus derailleurs) I'd want on one of my bikes. It's hit or miss whether you get 460D or 136R pedals. And you can always clean up the frame, toss on a headset and BB then resell the frame for a project.
Anyway, that said, if you're around Portland... ==> https://www.ebay.com/itm/142681807859

I guess it's a hi-ten frame, but still pretty with the chromed fork crown and socks (plus it's orange).
