Vintage? My bike shop guys tell me the wheel on my Schwinn Racer (1968) is "pre-war" and they don't mean Viet Nam. Brass brake shoes, even :-)

My 7500FX is great, so I'm sure the 7.5 FX will be too - I don't need a road bike. (I'd suggest getting skinnier tires though if you're riding on the road.)
