    Submitted by byron casebier a from central city KY
    Date Reviewed: March 7, 2006
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Price Paid: $450.00
    Purchased At:schwinn cycle
    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.
    Bike Setup:now i am using the hydramatic frame, with new tank headset, the stock forks with a built in compression device, stock headset, stock bars cut to 21.5", fit grips, volume bar ends, stock seat post, haro landing strip seat, alex triple wall 48h rims, poverty "hubba bubba" sealed hubs, duro jumber tires, stock (and very well built) xs 3pc. cranks, stock xs pedals, 34 t chainwheel, 13 t freewheel, and a cheap wal-mart chain.
    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.
