Man, after reading this thread for a while, I am gonna have to buy one. There is a fellow in town who was trying to get me to buy his last year, will have to see if he unloaded it or not. He said he would give me a deal on it, and I was smart enough to not even ask. I'm still paying student loans...
Till then, I do have a 91 Schwinn 974, and it rides a lot like everyone here is describing the Cannondale criterium's. Hardest gearing of all my bikes, fastest up the hills, stiff, corners like a hooker, and all that.
