Strengths: The frame is a tank, the crank is the smoothest i have ever used. overall a very sturdy bike to put through all the abuse you want.Weaknesses: the wheel set worked great for a couple of years, but just here recently upgraded to a set of hubba bubba hubs on alex triple walls. my hubs were knocking and my rims were bent from casing on concrete ledges. Seat is hard as a rock, upgraded to a haro landing pad soon after purchase. grips were pathetic, but not a big deal to replace. my bars are slightly bent but comfortable. chainwheel sucks. headset sucks. the forks would have been better installed with a star nut, internal compression device, but technology wasn't that advanced in 2000.Bottom Line: it looks like there is alot of weaknesses here, but i rode on the bike for a year before i made any upgrades and you couldnt beat the value. sucks that since then schwinn has sold out and stopped making quality products.

but i haven't replaced it yet and i'm not going to because i'm getting a new bike instead the seat i changed it to a haro mirra seat the first week and also got a Kool chainBottom Line: if your are the age beween 14 and 16 who want freestyle bike with a frame two last a life time get this
