I bought this bike for my wife, to go along with the bike I bought Schwinn Men's Midmoor Bicycle (Grey). It's a great bike for riding the paved trails and the roads around our house.

I gave the mens five stars and this one four due to the main bar placement and lack of accessory attachment points on this one.

The bike itself (frame, derailleur, etc) is fairly decent. However, I'm not sure of the cause of the difficulties I experienced (shipping, poor manufacturing, etc.) but they are VERY annoying. The rear wheel is out of round, so I will have to make the trip to my local bike shop and spend the extra $$$ to get the spokes tweaked. Maybe this will stop the horrendous squeal coming from the rear brake! Also, the left pedal has a distinct `clunk' coming from it with every revolution, so I will most likely need to upgrade to a better set of pedals. The gears squeaked a little bit, but lubricating the chain has helped. Hopefully that will be a permanent fix! Lastly, I would NOT recommend this bike to anyone who is a newbie around bikes/mechanics. Too many things to adjust and the handlebars alone can be a nightmare to mount correctly!

Minor damage in shipping that Amazon took care of. Thank you! Mid grade parts. No bottle cage mounts or rack mounts. I wouldn't count on this bike for a cross country ride, but I would ride it in a metric century. Easy assembly.
