What did you know which rear hub to use? Just measured and found one?

The rear hub is a regular Campy cassette hub that has been spaced with PVC. A friend got me a 20t Campy ss cog. It was a very easy and cheap conversion.

Is that a crazy-slack head tube, or my imagination?

Dunno about geometry since the basic bike was a salvage yard recovery and I have no idea what Schwinn frame it is.

It doesn't seem to be especially slack. I think it's just the photo. The fork has a good deal of rake, so maybe
that's why it looks that way.
