Schwinn Schwinn Fastback

Very light weight and is a dream to ride

Assembly wasn't too difficult, it took about an hour and didn't require anything complex or significant adjustment of gears (for me at least).After a few hundred miles I have enjoyed the riding and while it isn't anything fancy (aluminum frame, pad brakes etc) it does shift gears pretty well and isn't so heavy.I did not like the tires that came with it however - they gave me tons of flats consistently on my normal routes. After going through about 5 tubes in a row, swapping out for sturdier tires was necessary for me to stop the flats, adding to the wheel weight.

Easy to assemble, smooth ride, absolutely beautiful bike

This bike didn't last a year.

This is an okay bike for the price. No it’s not a carbon fiber but the frame is not that heavy. I had a triathlon trek Hilo 2000 that was very fast and responsive but doesn’t do as well as this on the climbs. I live in TN so most of my country roads have 15-30% elevation grades. Gears are good enough to climb. I have put 500 miles on this bike so far.Only thing I would recommend is having a mechanic put it together if you are not mechanically Inclined. I had to adjusts the gears and on rough roads, these gears need constant adjusting after rides. It’s worth learning but could really put a damper on things if you don’t know what you're doing. Yes you have to put the tape on the handle bars; which was great for me as I like to adjust the outer cables to my liking.Lastly, tires are one of the thickest, heaviest tires I have seen on a road bike. I changed over to continentals 5000 and my speed was WAY better.Not an upgrade to an expert rider.Update: save your money. 300 miles my chain broke. No big deal. Less than 1,000 miles my back tire bent laterally and could not get back true. I weigh 155. 1500 miles in I start having drivetrain issues. My fourth cog on the cassette is bent and keeps switching to other gears. Everything on this bike is cheap. Save or buy something older.

I’ve had this bike for about a month now and I’m very happy with it. The gears rattle a bit in higher gears but it shifts nice. The bike is very light and great for inclines

I like the bike! I’m a beginner road biker, and it rides pretty smooth. Putting it together was a bit challenging but I got it done. I’ve had never worked on a bike before. The seat is a bit hard for me but I’m sure a more experience rider would be fine.

For intermediate road biker. Easy to assemble, light weight for it's class.
