SchwinnHigh Timber Mountain Bike for Adult Youth Men Women Boys Girls, 24 to 29-Inch Wheels, 7 or 21-Speeds, Front Suspension, Aluminum and Steel Frame Options

I think the bike is very good..I already added a a few aftermarket parts but that's my style and also the bike is very light weight and I'm a big guy roughly 6'2" and around 230 but in a good way lol but I can't wait to ride it and get out there. I put it together without any directions I mean but I've been doing that for a long time but the look is beautiful as you can see and no missing parts everything was in the box so but great bike I was expecting something totally different but I'm actually beyond surprised at the looks and just quality. That's all I got.

I have been using the bike for over a month. I find it very reliable. I use it for road biking. I used to have a 24 speed 29” bike that gave me more speed and was more challenging. When I ordered this one, I was aware of the diminishing. However, this bike is challenging enough for me.When it arrived, it required some assembling but nothing major. From the beginning and over three weeks the disk rotors (front and back) were rubbing some against the break pad. I assumed that of let alone the accumulation of rubbing would fix the problem itself. This is important because the rubbing creates friction and it holds you back when going up hill. Easy fix. Read the instructions on how to adjust disk brakes and do it. You will figure out easily.I recommend this bike, especially to the bike enthusiast. Enjoy it.

NOTE: The bike I bought was used so my review may vary on certain things.The price for the used bike was only $160. During the height of the COVID-19, bikes were sold out EVERYWHERE! Bikes that were retailed at $250, were now going for $700! The high demand for any outdoor activities increased so high that the prices for those market became unaffordable to many. Seeing this bike at such a low price, and it was listed as “Used - Like New”, I immediately jumped on the opportunity.Straight out the box, it wasn’t much of a hassle to put together. Being that it was used, I had a damaged headset bearing and a missing quick release skewer. The parts weren’t expensive to replace and costed just under $30 to fix at a local bike shop, brining the price to own at $190 so far.Once the bike was assembled as intended, I was able to judge the bike for what it really worth. First thing you’ll notice is that the bike is pretty heavy. It’s not the biggest problem but you adjust to it pretty quickly. Once you start riding, you tend to feel that most gears feel the same, but still provide enough range to get around without a problem. The shifting in the front is a bit clunky, and you have to find the right sweet spot to stay on the gear correctly, but the back is pretty smooth and responsive. The braking is pretty standard, but does the job effectively. After riding around for more than 30 minutes, you most definitely start to feel how uncomfortable the seats are. If you plan on making any upgrades, THIS SHOULD BE THE FIRST!!Speaking about upgrading, I changed the twist to shift to trigger shifter with a brake combo. Twisting to shift makes shifting easy while having your hands still on the bar, but my hands would constantly rub causing minor burns which got uncomfortable on longer rides. Switching to trigger shifters also freed up some space on my handle bars which allowed my to switch to custom handle grips as well. The stock grips did a pretty job a it was, but aftermarket ones are as cheap as $5-$15 which can improve ride comfort on a budget.All in all, I spent close to $250 on a used bike, with upgraded trigger shifter and brake combo, upgraded handle bar grip, and a comfortable seat. Rides pretty smooth, and I enjoy it. Other than the seat, thinking of cons took a bit of time because they don’t affect you much. It’s something you can definitely live with, without having to get upgrades.Pros:Good for beginnersEasy assemblySmooth rear shiftsBraking works goodCons:Bike seatHeavy/BulkyFront shifts clunkyMost of the gears feel the sameLimited upgrades

I assembled the bicycle yesterday during the night and finished at 12:05 am of today, Monday 09/18/23. I did not used yet.I bought and pay for the bicycle as new, but this is a used bicycle, I understand if for some reason could be a small scratches during the shipping (which also is not normal, but understandable) but in this case the scratches are too big. Also there are a marks on the wheels when someone else used the breaks. Both tires also had dust.Definitely a used bike. I payed for something new and this bicycle clearly is not new. I would like to have a discount or something. This is not normal.I will use the bicycle for first time in a few hours to see if at least can be used without mechanical issues. Someone else returned this bicycle -I don't have any doubts- and then Amazon sent that to me, the question is why.***UPDATE***In the same way that I had the time to write the previous review, I would like to inform that Amazon after seeing my complain and evidence they gave me a discount for the bicycle, THANKS AMAZON for your amazing support and quick response.Also as I said in my first comment finally I got the time to use the bicycle and I strongly recommend it, ride is comfortable and also is too light and really fast, the 27.5 inches tires help a lot to ride smoothly, also has a very good suspension.This is my second Schwinn mountain bicycle, I also had the first one and works fine even when is 15 years old bicycle. I also have a road bike from different manufacturing. I am a 46 YO and started using bicycles when I was 5 or 6 years old. Since then I used a lot of different bikes. I strongly recommend Schwinn, there are another companies offering expensive products but at the end they are very similar.One friend and I did a comparative between his expensive bicycle and mine and at the end he prefers mine because was faster and less expensive.I will update my comment as soon as see any news with my purchase.I hope this information helps.And thanks again to Amazon support.Jesus.
