This was a gift for my husband. Love him, but not the handiest person on the planet.

He had no trouble assembling it the rest of the way, or so he thought. On he first trip (with the toddler wagon in tote) he was exhausted after a couple of miles. He realized that the breaks were partially engaged all of the time.

So, if you purchase and assemble this yourself, look for the little screw holding the break pad in place, that can tighten and loose to complement the brake line for the right amount of pressure and non-pressure.

Other than that, great delivery, condition, and product!

I just received this bike from Amazon. The only other place I saw it listed for sale was on Sears' site. Schwinn says this is a sport store bike (Dick's) rather than a big box store(Target)bike. Amazon doesn't have too much in the way of specs on the bike. It probably weights about 30 lbs. The tires are 700 x 40c. So they are not a narrow racing tire.
The bike does havea kick stand with it, even though you can't see it in the one picture Amazon shows. It also has a chain guard. Assembly isn't terrible, but I did unhook the front brake cable and re-route it in front of the handelbar. I also had to take the stem off the handle bar, install it, and then reattach the handle bar to the stem.

At Amazon's suggestion, I called Schwinn, and they said they would send me another seat. So......I am older, and don't like to lean down on the handle bars, so this... Read more

BEST BIKE EVER! Perfect for women too and for people with bad backs. You sit upright, front shocks to absorb the bumps on the road or light trails, a comfy seat, and easy to shift. Easy to assemble although I am still having a hard time getting the front wheel to align properly and brakes new a little adjustment as they rub against the tires after I adjust them. hmmm?? I'll figure it out. Other than that, I am loving sitting high up and lovethe big wheels. Thanks Schwinn. My neighbors are jealous. Woo hoooo!
