I purchased this Schwinn partly because they seem to have maintained a long-standing reputation for quality and also because I loved mine when I was younger. I primarily wanted a relatively lightweight , solidly built frame and this bike has it. The 700c wheels seems rather popular for hybrid bikes and have been well -received by many commuters. This wheel does not have nearly as much drag as a mtb tire and more protection and gripping power than a thin road bike tire.
The bike comes nearly fully assembled and is well packaged, inside an inner and outer protective carton. Setting up the handlebars, pedals and seat were a snap.
The whole process took about 15 minutes.
The frame is painted a very nice black (So I’m told, It actually looks dark green to my eyes), though it isn’t the same frame seen in the product photo (The down tube is much thicker on the bike I received). The saddle is very, very comfortable and the adjustable sprung aluminum stem is a nice bonus, accommodating a variety of preferred sitting/riding styles.
Braking is very even and responsive with little fade. The bike feels well balanced while maneuvering and provides very forgiving handling characteristics. The front suspension fork is lightweight and mostly responsive on the rebound. IMO, it needs a bit more pressure but I’ve yet to get to it. I’d recommend experimenting with the proper pressure based on your weight and riding style.
The cables are well protected and insulated from the frame to avoid scratches. The fenders and baskets are easily removed, should you choose to do so (I did. It took about 12 minutes because you need to remove the rear tire to get at a screw for the rear fender). Adding a quick release hub to the rear tire (the front tire already has one) would be an inexpensive and highly useful tool, IMO.
I’m about average height and weight (5′7″@ 165lbs) and I can ride for hours without discomfort on the stock saddle. Shifting is easy and smooth and the system never skipped a gear, even when pedaling uphill and changing gears.
I recently compared this model to a few local bike shop products that cost $200+ more than the Schwinn. The overall workmanship/fit and finish of the Schwinn holds up well compared to the popular models I saw.
The bike is equipped with bike shop quality components, albeit not the high end, that will generally perform quite well.
After checking out several department store bikes from Walmart and Target, I’d definitely recommend staying away from the lesser quality bikes commonly sold in department stores. With few exceptions they tend to have cheaper, heavier frames and poor quality components and poor fit and finish in the assembly.
Comparing frames among several bikes (including this one) ranging in price from ~$300 to ~$900 yielded components of Chinese manufacture with finish of the welds, weight and general construction approximately equal.
I’m not suggesting the Schwinn Crrest is better than a well build bike shop bicycle like a mid-grade Giant, Trek or Santa Cruz, but the latter could set you back anywhere from $600 to $2000, easily.
I am suggesting that, this bike is comparable, for the average, casual road or paved trail rider, to much more expensive bikes I’ve looked at and ridden.
Happy trails.. or roads
My wife and I decided to purchase bikes to expand our exercise options. Neither of us had ridden in decades, but our son is an avid cyclist and he suggested we look at Hybrids. After looking at several options, we decided to purchase both a Men’s and Women’s version of this bike and we couldn’t be happier. They’re relatively lightweight and the components all appear to be of fairly high quality for a bike priced in this range.
The limited assembly was easy, although I must say the 1st one took me longer than the 15 minutes referenced by the original reviewer. Almost everything is adjustable for comfort, and like the original reviewer, we too took off the fenders and like the result. It would have been nice if Schwinn had included a couple of allen wrenches, and maybe a pouch to carry them in, since that is the tool most often needed for assembly and adjustments.
We have been riding for a couple of weeks now and really like the way the bikes handle. I’m a big guy, well over 200lbs, yet the ride is smooth and comfortable. We are amazed at how those gears smooth out the hills. Most of our riding is on pavement, but we have ridden on some gravel/dirt roads, and the “Hybrid” tires performed well.
My wife and I agree that this is definitely a great bike for the price.
I don’t know very much about bikes. This one seems to be a good fit for me (the causal bike commuter) and it seems to be a good price compared to what I saw in bike stores. I really like that it comes with a chain guard, shocks, splash guards and the storage rack. I’ve been using it to commute to work 1-2 miles for the past month or so.
It is not true that the batteries last only 3 years.
Look behind the sprocket and you will see a ring with wrench flats on it. This ring also serves as the right hand bearing race. If I remember correctly it has right hand threads so if you turn it counterclockwise the ring should loosen and then you could remove the sprocket.
This is Dudley just on a dffernt sn…to the girl with the skinny jeans question…what do u mean? why does that matter?
someone found your bike, g?
Cool, didn’t know that. Actually, I think I did read about the school teachers in Texas, but I had forgotten. Still, very interesting.

Crescent: One who has been honored by the sovereign; hope of greater glory (horns to the chief or pointing up)
Decrescent: same meaning but horns facing right or to the sinister
According to the site
a crescent moon resembles a horseshoe, and one pointing down means that it will "shower you with Luck". Legend says, that a Horseshoe 'Pointing up' will "gather your Luck,"
Americans of English and Irish descent prefer to display horseshoes upward; those of German, Austrian, Italian, Spanish, and Balkan descent generally hang them downward. People in some parts of Ireland and Britain believe that horseshoes must be turned upward or "the luck will run out."
Horseshoes were actually used by the Greeks as early as the 4th century B.C. Since horses were believed to be one of the most sacred of animals, their crescent-shaped shoes became symbols of good luck. It has associations with the strength and dependability of the horse, and, in upright position it is also symbolic of the moon. Pointing downwards, it is symbolic of the womb.
To the Greeks it symbolized the crescent moon which was regarded as a symbol of fertility.The modern association is more likely to be linked to a legendary tenth century Saint who trapped the Devil in a Horseshoe and as a result made him promise never to enter a Christian home marked by a Horseshoe hung above the door.

Well, how fat are you? I.e., how much do you weigh?
200 lb is really pushing those little bikes, so hopefully you are under that.
You can also contact Waterford Precision Cycles. They also restore vintage Schwinn bicycles, down to the correct decals.

That was great! When I was in high school, I used to often babysit the night this was on (I guess it was Friday?). I always made sure the kids were sound asleep by then. lol
Love it!

stupid car
DAMN. defiantly favoriting
ok listen to all the ppl who are saying u would be a size 5.
Hybrid iron will replace the iron of the same 'number'. The hybrid woods are made to use anytime- off the fairway or a tee. They are usually a little larger than the hybrid irons.
The lofts of the woods and irons may be the same but you'll get different distances with the two numbered clubs.
To compare the two clubs:
3 wood = 1 hybrid
5 wood = 2 hybrid
7 wood = 3 hybrid
9 wood = 4 hybrid
If you want to by the hybrid iron and don't want to be confused, ask the sales person at the golf shop. Usually they are labeled 'woods' or 'hybrids' for your convenience.
Have fun!
100% sure 2000
I like the hybrids that run on puppies and kittens, squirrels, etc. There are so many for free on the side of the road. Just kidding. Maybe.
Civil Engineering is a fairly broad thing so i bet you could still get into something like urban planning but you should talk to your advisor about that because they would know. Or research it online.
No because then were would the mixed doubles go?

BIKE NIGHT at SONNY'S BBQ
Racing on bikes fixed to treadmills might be an unusual way to pass the time in a pub, but it’s catching on across London I have to admit it was a first, finishing a pint just before taking part in a competitive cycling event. But then again, it was the first time I’d ever had a bike race inside a pub – or, for that matter, a race where your bike never moves an inch. All in all, my first taste of Rollapaluza was something of a night of new experiences. First set up around a decade ago, Rollapaluza has set out to revive the long-lost sport of indoor roller racing, in which pairs of competitors sit on bikes fixed to treadmills propelled by the rear wheel and “race” each other over a hypothetical fixed distance. Initially a fun pursuit for friends on London’s cycle courier scene, it’s now expanded to a full-time business which organises try-out races at schools and community festivals, as well as corporate events. It also has a regular winter roller racing league at various pubs around…

To be honest with you I cant think of any other then boosting personal ego and feeling a false sense of accomplishment. Thats why everyone else drives them. And to think making a hybrid puts out more pollution then making a regular car.
waw
these websites have AWESOME guys styles… more edgy, more punk-like.. but you'll need to print the pic out, and take it to a professional to have it done. I would highly recommend a professional because you'll most likely get what you want without messing up your hair.

The bleaching materials will seep out from the strips and possibly irritate the holes. Just wait another week. You also probably shouldn't spit too forcefully just yet – I know when I was using white strips there was a lot of spitting and forceful rinsing going on after I took the strip off.
There is no such thing as a family crest. A crest is part of a coat of arms. Coats of arms do not belong to surnames. Peddlers on the internet, at shopping malls, in airports, in magazines or who solicit by mail are scam merchants.
They were granted to or assumed by individual men. Frequently, more than one man with the same surname, not all necessarily related, were each granted or assumed their own coat of arms, all different. No one peddler who sells them will have all of them. They don't need to in order to sell to people who don't know better. The only time they will have more than one associated with the same surname is if more than one man with the same surname from different national origins were granted one, Then they will have one of each and there might have been others. Also most men with that particular surname were never granted or assumed a coat of arms and their descendants aren't entitled to one at all.
In the U.S. a person is free to display any coat of arms they wish, but to do so without documented proof that they are entitled to it is actually identity theft. Anybody with pride in themselves do not want to take another's identity.
it wasent bad
