What Schwinn is under the Ghettoflage?
Waiting to hear back about this "Schwinn Road Bike"
Any guesses as to what it actually is? Its got anodized rims and the brake cable routed down and under the top tube, besides that some one rode it enough to put a computer and mirror on it.

LeTour. Just a guess. I can't really tell without more details. Are you asking because it is listed for sale somewhere? Do you have a link?

Its already gone. I think it might have been one of the 90's Paramount OS bikes. It was up for $40 and gone in under 5 hours. Funny thing was that it was local and its 45 minutes to Walmart rural out here.

That rear brake cable run looks unique with full-length housing being run under the TT.
To my eye, the dropouts look stamped.

The rear drop out could be stamped but the pictures kind of lousy. The rear derailleur lower wheel looks like it might be "cowled" like a 105. Thats what got me thinking this might have started off as a higher end bike. The seat post looks like it might be "Aero" also, but probably way to far extended.

OT, but looks like they're doing a little better than "knee high by the Fourth of July".

Looks like an entry level, sport model to me. I wouldn't lose any sleep over missing out on this one.
