Little sidenote after I wrecked the premis
I ended up buying a Schwinn aluminum 564 frame from a local bike shop and took all the components from the premis and put them on it. I had to sell it about a year later and still regret it 20+ years later . I’m dong research and starting to find i had a rare 1 cause of dark blue color. Hate to say it but i would sell premis to get another blue 564!
