I had never seen that one as I don't look out for the road bikes, but what a pretty machine!

Cheers, I love it too. I am really into my cruisers but I was researching road bikes as I am going to start cycling to work and came across this bike totally by accident. I was initially sad to find out they dont sell this model in UK/Europe but luckily the UK distributor had it as a demo model, so they sold it to me (in my exact size). Its supposed to be an eco bike, so made from flax, resin, bamboo, carbon fiber, recycled rubber etc.

Mainly its about the look for me and the rarity and I have always liked Schwinn bikes, plus the frame lights up when the bike starts moving, the front hub has a generator that powers LED lights inside the frame.

There is not a shop in my area (that i know of, portland OR) selling the signiture models so I wasn't too sure how they looked. Here are some real good close ups I found. Click through to my pic host and then click again on them for some really HUGE photos. :!: :!:

my Vestige is a signature model but not sure what that means, or is it just another way of making it sound special, just curious?Any special significance?
