Date: 2007-12-28 | Rating: 5 My wife and I purchased this bike and the "women's versions" of this bike together as a Christmas gift to one another. First, I am 37 years-old and disabled. I needed a bike that is light, yet strong enough to handle my 250lb + frame. Well, this bike is light due to all the aluminum parts that make up the bike and it is the aluminum that gives the bike it strength as well. The bike was a breeze to unpack and set up. Once again, I am disabled, I do not have the strength to manipulate cumbersome items... and this truly was not a cumbersome task! One hour tops from UPS Truck to being able to ride it up my street and back. During the easy and very short set up process, I had time to admire the welds and other artisanship details... I found no flaws. The bike was put together well at the factory. There were no scratches from the assembly line. The welds appear uniform (which is an excellent sign of a good weld). If I have one complaint, it would be the seat... Oh my gosh, that seat! Like I said earlier, I am 37 years old and 250lb +, the seat on this bike is not meant for a large buttock as mine! I think a vertical "Wiffle Ball Bat" would have been more comfortable than this wedge of a seat. I was one bump away from a Proctologist appointment! I am going to remove the seat and install one of those "farm tracker seats"... you know, the ones with the giant coil springs under the copious amount of foam covered in heavy duty 'all weather' fake leather covering! Yea, the Schwinn seat has to go! Can't go wrong with Schwinn Date: 2005-08-25 | Rating: 5 For the price you pay, Schwinn makes some of the best bikes available. Here for under 200 dollars you get a great mountain bike. It runs well, is high quality, and is a great value. You'd probably be better off getting this then a higher-priced bike from some other brand. Lots of bike for the buck!!! Date: 2006-04-13 | Rating: 5 I purchased mine 07/15/05. From the day I received it, ahh the smell of new tires!!, I've been riding this bike through the woods on and off trails (even though this bike is not rated for off road!) and on pot-holed city streets, with no noticeable problems, except for a punctured tube.(Unlike other reviewer, my bike came with an Omni front fork assembly, but I notice the pix on product page doesn't show one, I guess I got lucky!!!) I've performed minor adjustments on cables which after a few days of riding is normal. I've been riding bikes for over 40 years, primarily on a Peugeot UO-8, which I still use after 33 years, but I wanted a bike that was more suitable to run off road and this Chinese Schwinn filled the bill at about half the price of a T*** 3700, which was my next choice if this Schwinn was a bummer. The only problem I had, but adjusted to, was the seat, and I really don't know why, since the Peugeot that I've ridden forever, has a hard leather, non-padded/springed seat, and it has never worked me over! No other complaints from me, will forward some pix later. Well, I've got to get back to the trails! See ya' Twice as much bike for the money! No problems!

See ya' A great bike at a reasonable price Date: 2005-10-26 | Rating: 5 I was told by a bike colletor friend you must spend more than $300 to get a reasonablly good bike. But this Schwinn certainly has exceeded my expectation for what half of that money can buy you.
