I don't know anything about bikes, I'm a 30+ year old novice when it comes to bikes. I just ride them.Prior to having this outstanding bike, I bought an $80 used bike from Craigslist because I only plan to commute from home to the subway station which is a little over a mile. I live in Oakland and it get hilly and after a month my bike began to have lots of problems. I was working so hard to pedal and it seemed like everyone was flying past me when I was riding the Craigslist bike.Eventually, I preferred to walk but missed getting some form of morning exercise and purchased this bike.This bike looks so modern and very trendy. I leave in a complex where people bike ride and this is by far the best looking bike handsdown.It rides so smooth and now I'm seeing it wasn't that I was some poor out of shape guy on a bike which is why people were passing by me all the time, it's because a lot had better bikes than the Craigslist one I had. This bike is a lot lighter too.I did pay for someone to put it together. I attempted to do it, but then got stock about 75% of the way. I read someone suggested you get it tuned up and I heeded. If you're a novice I suggest you do it too for safety reasons. It was $90 for me.About me, I'm 5"9 215 lbs muscly guy. The bike works for my body type.

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.

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.

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!
