Kedzie Single-Speed Fixie Road Bike, Lightweight Frame for City Riding,28 inches, Blue

I bought this bike because I thought that a fixed gear would be easier to assemble and I was right. Even though the printed manual was for a Hybrid Schwinn, it still made sense and the assembly went quickly and smoothly. I spoke zero swear words, a new record for an assembly. The front brakes needed basic adjusting and after making sure all the nuts and bolts were tight, I was on my way. The bike rode well--fast and steady with good traction on asphalt and concrete. After riding a bargain brand bike for a few years, it felt good to go back to Schwinn.

This bike does not come assembled but it is pretty easy to assemble if you have the right size wrench and Allen tools. I have now rode this bike a few hundred miles, mostly over pavement but also over some light trails with roots running across them as well. It is geared towards being a city bike but can handle dry dirt and some light trails as long as they are not too steep. Actually it is more geared towards flat ground riding as the brakes are not made for stopping when going downhill. I am just a casual rider and can usually maintain 12 -13 mph on this bike for 20+ miles. It is as lightweight a bike and as good a quality as you will get for the price of just $152. This bike is easily capable of going well over 20 miles per hour on pavement downhill especially and the brakes are not going to stop you if you get going that fast the only way to stop is to ride it out or crash at higher speeds. Overall a very good bike that I am very pleased with especially for the price. It handles gravel fantastically as well as pavement and as I said, I have taken it on some easy trails. It does not however ride well in the mud. Keep an allen tool on you while riding. The handlebar can sometimes loosen if jarred too much (like you have a poorly maintained cracked road or ride on a trail) The only downsides I can think of if using as intended are the just ok brakes that will not stop you downhill and that you absolutely need to be at least 5'10" or taller to ride this bike.

Great bike also came with both sprockets the fixed gear and free spin sprocket even tho they say that it only comes the free spin so I’m very happy with itIf your having issues with your brakes they just need adjustment and a break in you can always take it down to your local bike shop for adjustments. I also recommend the Nextcover seat for this bike it’s very comfortable and has memory foam

Tire popped after third ride in a neighborhood, the brakes come apart with even light adjustment very disappointed in this purchase

This is really a great bike for the money. Right out of the box and put together in a few minutes with minimal reading and hand eye coordination. A surprising smooth and fast ride!...Real Schwinn tradition of a good bike for the money; an excellent starter single speed bike. A good street, path bike...plus, it's cool looking....Now, I'm 6'1" ...so it fits me really well.... it's a tall rider....GREAT stretching out ride!...

The brakes Schwinn put on this bike are junk. No matter how you try to set them, they barely work. So much so, I find them dangerous. Good luck stopping if a car or something is about to hit you. I purchased dual pivot brakes for the front and back here on Amazon. Only $30 USD for the set. Anyways, after installing and setting the new brakes, there's enough braking power to skid. Not that I want to but it is good to know that I can stop now. I still like Schwinn but shame on them for using out dated, single pivot brakes, for anyone who ways more than 50 lbs. Those may be fine on a kids bike but you have to be 5'10" or better to ride this bike.

I only road my bike 1 time and it seems like very good quality for the money my $400 trek antelope is a little better but its quality seems very similar but if you are looking for something that you don't have to invest more money in you might want to keep lookingI already bought new pedels and pedel crankVery easy to put together but no tools includedGreat affordable bike

Four years after buying a Fixie from Walmart I bent the frame hitting a pothole. Still it was the best $99 I ever spent; the Schwinn Kedzie is virtually the same bike; both manufactured by Kent. So, what did I get for $80 more? Some piece of mind, the newer reviews of my Walmart Fixie are not good; they describe almost the same issues I had with the $92 Fixie I previously bought and had for barely a year. The $7 upgrade price was worth it.I knew that by buying the Kedzie I was paying for the Schwinn name. There are some other upgrades; the biggest being the handbrakes are better; wider grip and made of metal (not the cheap plastic on the Fixie).The side-pull caliper brakes seem to be of a heavier grade. The handle-bar clamps on the threadless stem. I am a little leery of the threadless because you can't raise it higher. The handgrips and pedals are also better. A thing that I do like is that the frame has some knock-outs to which you can mount the water bottle clamp. It does come with the chain-guard, which I like.You get the same cheap seat and clamp as you do with the Amazon Fixie. However, I had upgraded the seat tube and clamp with my old bike, as well as the seat itself.What I don't like it the high profile wheels and the 28mm tires; I don't see either lasting through another encounter with a pothole like the one I hit with the Walmart Fixie. I switched-out the tires, putting on a pair of 38mm that I added to the Fixie, but it doesn't leave much clearance with the fork/frame or brake caliper. I may go down to a 35, lowest to a 32 tire because I like the stability The Fixie seems to have had a larger frame and fork, because I was able to put 42 snow tires on it; can't do that with the Kedzie. I kept the Fixie wheels but the caliber brake pads would have to be lowered to grip the wheel frame.The Kedzie also doesn't come with a kick-stand, and I forgot to take the one off the Fixie before putting the bent frame out in the alley for scrap.I could have purchased another Walmart Fixie for $119, but from its description it still had the low-grade seat, brakes, and the same handlebars. It also doesn't have the punch-outs for the bottle clamp. But, I do have to buy a kick-stand For the upgrade and the Schwinn name I paid $60 more. I'll see if it is worth it.

Received bike with inner tube hidden in tire. I removed the tire and found it was there hidden with a hole in it and had been taped like in picture. Wheel rim bent and damaged. Maybe Amazon could mail me a new inner tube and rear wheel.
