Customer Reviews

I have 2 other bikes in my house. A Giant hybrid bike with a basket for shopping and carrying class materials (I'm a teacher), and an old Fuji road bike that I have rebuilt. The Fuji road bike was great to ride but like most projects it was a hassle to replace parts and find parts that fit. I ordered this bike to be my solid nightly rider around town and I wrote this review to show how pleasantly surprised I am. The bike feels solid and lightweight. The package came quickly with Amazon's 1 day delivery option for $3.99, and the assembly was simple. The handlebars are not huge but actually the perfect size. Some reviews from other sites use the stock photo of this bike and make judgments, when in reality the bike is beautiful and clean. The stickers on the wheels come off easily and although the Schwinn logo is present, it seems to be done in good taste. If you look at their site you can see that Schwinn seems to be heading in the right direction by including more high performance / low maintenance single speed road bikes.
I had to call customer service today because one of my crank-arm's threading was done incorrectly and my pedal ended up shredding out all the threading. If you are a cyclist you have probably ran into this problem before and know that this can be an expensive fix. Luckily, a 5 minute phone call to customer service was all I needed to do to get a package on the way to my house with a entirely new crank-arm assembly kit and pedals. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. If you are on the fence with this, don't be. This bike has quality that is well worth its price, add to that the fact that it is built by a company that stands by their products and the bike's value far exceeds its price tag. Don't be like me and tell yourself "But its a Schwinn...gross" to keep you from buying this product, because now I ride the bike daily and tell myself "It's a Schwinn!"

Had the bike a week and a half now and thought it was time for feedback. Assembly was easy and the bike looks great, but some of the parts are really cheaply made. Given the price, this wasn't unexpected.
The biggest problem has been getting flats. So far, I have had 6 flat tires! After fixing them multiple times, buying 2 new tubes and patching the rest, I discovered that the problem was with the wheel rim strips. These are the rubber pieces that go around the wheel and keep the tubes from going up into the spoke holes when inflated. It seems that the original part supplied by the manufacturer is simply too thin to do the job at the recommended tire pressure of 100psi stamped on the tires. Replacing the original parts with velox(sp?) rim tape from my local bike store seems to have done the trick. Hopefully, this problem will be addressed soon and others will not have similar issues.
