    No problem, glad it arrived ok. But don't thank me for the
    seat til you try
    it. It was oem and I gave it a good month or so and it never
    broke in for
    iu. Maybe it will fit you better.Good luck with the build.

    An orange Schwinn frame caught my eye on eBay last week,
    then your seat arrives! I'm trying to build up an SS...

    Word of caution, several proprietary Scwinn parts are
    difficult to find and sometimes expensive. Probably depends
    on the model year. I have an '01 and it's been a real pain
    in the ass to find derailer hangers and headsets. I'd
    recomend against getting any Schwinn frame with an ICBM
    headset. I had to get an aftermarket one from Cane Creek and
    it doesn't fit correctly. Hangers are near impossible to
    find and when I've seen them they go for outrageous prices.
    I'm in the market for a new frame, as much as I like the fit
    it's too much of a hassle.

    Guess the hanger won't matter that much for a SS. But watch
    out for the headset.
