    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
    me. 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.
