Great entry-level road bike.
For the price, this is an excellent entry-level road bike. The flat bar is nice, but the grips slide around and needed to be swapped out (this is the only real negative about this bike, I’d take a quarter star off) The geometry is great for speed and hill climbing. The derailluers shift quickly, smoothly and accurately. They only required a little adjustment out of the box. The brakes do squeal, which is inherent on some disk brakes so Im not sure if the adjustment is off or its just the pads.
It was very easy to assemble. Requires only a few basic tools. Adjustable wrench (or open-end wrenches), a set of good hex keys and a screwdriver is all I needed. I would have a local bike professional tune it up after assembly if you don’t know how to adjust the derailleur and brakes. However,YouTube has videos and it’s not hard once you get the hang of what everything adjusts for.
I did need a gel cover for the seat or would definitely recommend riding shorts.
I ride about 20 miles a day on this bike and overall am very happy with it!

Great deal on a good bike!
It’s been a while since I’ve bought a new bike. Never considered buying a Schwinn because I associated the brand with being cheap and old school. Since college I’ve owned a Nishiki, Giant, Specialized, top of the line bikes. I bought this bike purely based on price as nowadays I’m more a leisure rider. I have to say upon arrival I’m impressed with Schwinn’s quality. The bike was packaged extremely well, instructions to put the bike together were easy (about 30-45 minutes), extremely light weight, and looks great. Despite ease of assembly I suggest taking it to a bike shop and have them ‘tune’ it (about $60) after you put it together or $100 (approx) for both assembly and tune. That way you can be assured everything is calibrated and adjusted properly. Overall I’m very happy with the quality of this bike.

Bike came with one defect……will update if Schwinn sends replacement part
Everything was fine until I started riding it. The one issue (a big issue) is that the left pedal keeps coming off. I have assembled multiple bikes in the past, and had no issues as of yet. This one took about 15 minutes to assemble and tune up after I got everything unwrapped out of the box. The left pedal tread seemed to be damaged, and the left pedal would come off when riding. I will update it to 5 stars when Schwinn sends me a replacement part for the left pedal and the left crank arm.
UPDATE: THEY RESPONDED ONCE AND THEN STOPPED RESPONDING. DO NOT BUY SCHWINN. THEY WILL NOT SEND YOU PARTS OR REPAIR EVEN IF YOU’RE UNDER WARRANTY. DO. NOT. PURCHASE. SCHWINN. BIKES. SPEND A BIT MORE FOR A BETTER FRAME ANYWAYS AND YOU’LL THANK YOURSELF LATER.
AFTER REPAIRING THE BIKE WITH MY OWN MONEY, IT RIDES TERRIBLY AND HAS TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS SOMETIMES.

Arrived with missing parts – but once handled, it’s a pretty good bike
This is my first review after just partially assembling it. I bough it “like-new”, with 40% price reduction compared to the price of a new. It came with missing parts, namely, the screws that are needed to secure the handle bar to the steering column, are missing. Now I have to go on a hunt with the manufacturer, and potentially pay some more money to get the missing screws. Otherwise, there was one bent part that made it hard to mount the front wheel, but I managed to handle that.
This is an update after day2:
I finished assembling the bike after finding some screws in a friend’s workshop. Adjusted the seat to my liking, and tuned the brakes – front and rear. Also on the shifters, I had to adjust the front derailer as it was making some scraping sound under certain circumstances. That’s good now. The only thing left is some mild scraping sound coming from (I believe) the front brake. What’s funny is when I lift the front wheel and spin it, there is no scraping sound. When I lift the rear wheel and spin it, there is not scraping sound. But when I ride, there is…
But that’s no issue at all. I took the bike to a spin and got a few 100 yards of test run. I’m disappointed by the brakes. They require hard squeeze to get the rear wheel lock up on asphalt, and at the hardest squeeze of the front brake I’m in no danger of falling over the steering bar or raising the rear wheel off the ground. I expected better than this. Few years ago, I had a $100 walmart mountain bike. It had rim brakes and they worked better than these disc brakes. I thought disc brakes would be much better than rim brakes. Maybe I just need to use them more and they will become better? Only time will tell.
On the bright side, the bike is light, and fun to ride, and despite what I wrote above, the brakes do provide sufficient stopping power. I’ll have to get out on a few longer rides to gather more experience with this thing. For now, it works, the ride is smooth, quiet, the bike is light, the shifters work and the brakes are also “ok”.
Update a few months later:
This is an awesome bike. The brakes work well now, the scraping sound is gone. Easy to ride, I have 15-20 mile excursions with it and it was fun. The way I bought it (40% discount for like-new, with some issue that were easy to handle), it definitely worth it. I contacted the manufacturer at one point for help, they said this thing was under no warranty. So keep that in mind. No support – no warranty. Any issue you can’t handle, you have to take to the local bike shop and pay for the work. I didn’t have to do that.

Great bike, compare to high end expensive bikes.
Great bike, I have put this thing on several 30-50 mile rides. I love cycling but not enough to pay a fortune for a carbon bike. To be honest the weight from a carbon bike wont be incredibly different from an aluminum bike. This bike weighs roughly 26 pounds. The only real benefit to carbon is for vibration absorption. This bike has a carbon fork on the front, so that definitely helps with the vibration.Set up was extremely easy took about 15 minutes. This bike has went through some hard rides and has held up nicely. One thing I can suggest is after assembly take to a local bike shop just to make sure it was put together correctly. In short great bike, don’t waste your money on a super expensive bike. I plan on riding this bike in a century ride or two this summer.

Best bike I ever had
I have this bike for almost 7 years. I rode more than 15 thousand miles using it as road/hybrid heavy duty commuter.
Once again, getting new pedals and seat. Another chain and cassette worn out. Still I don’t see a single reason to change this bike. It is damn perfect. Light, maneuverable and controllable, durable. I can’t believe I got this beauty on sale for 415 bucks, definitely worth twice that.

Its a really great bike my height is 6’30” and weight is 95 and i can commute anywhere easily with 70 psi, and my advice for new riders would be when assembling the bike consider get its gear and chain tuned from an experienced biker or bike shop

Aunque si se deben modificar de inmediato las llantas y todos los baleros por qué vienen de muy mala calidad, fuera de eso es buena para iniciar

Like it a lot. Perfect for beginners or advanced riders.

Got this bike from Amazon. It looks amazing. I put Continental Gatorskin 28mm tires on it and Shimano SPD-SL pedals. Removed the reflectors and boom. Look at this thing. Itâs beautiful. Itâs at the LBS right now getting tuned but I rode it around the street and other than the gears needing indexing itâs light and fast. Canât wait to take it out.
UPDATE: Weather allowed me to take it out for 3 rides this week. 30k plus each of them. I averaged 27kmph on the rides on crisp March mornings. This thing is fast. Claris system works well. I did have it tuned at the shop. Shifts like a dream. Worth the money but put 28mm foldable tires on it.

I wanted a sturdy all purpose bike to ride on the trails and this bike delivered. I would buy it again.
