Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$200.00
Purchased At:
Local Schwinn Dealer
Strengths:
Awesome color scheme (blue/silver). I'm not a pro rider, so the color really played a part in my purchase. Very light and easy to maneuver. Seat is OK, like it better than the Mongoose I tried. Front fork seems to work adequately.
Weaknesses:
Kickstand needs to be adjusted, not sure if it's the one that Schwinn put on or something the dealer did, but it's bolted through the frame and moves around too much. Front tire is easily removed but kinda touchy to put back on. Chain slightly rubs on front derailleur while on the smallest gear - I'll see if I can get that adjusted too.

Bike Setup:
Stock with Cateye wireless computer. Looking for a nice bottle/cage.
Bottom Line:
Glad I bought it, suits my needs fine (for now). I went with a hardtail for maximum pedaling power. You can get it on amazon.com with free shipping. Great entry level bike and I love that deep blue color.
