great bike for the money!. i bought this bike for my girlfriend, and for the amount ~$250 Schwinn Volare 700C Flat Bar Mens Road Bike can’t be beat. it needed just a little adjustment to the derailers but that is normal for any new bike. since then it’s been running great and has needed nothing! nice lightweight wheels and very decent entry level components make this a great value for the money, and the flat bar is very comfortable for city cruising!
excellent bike. wow, what a great road bike. I purchased this bike just a few weeks ago for an alternative way to get to work since my transmission went out on my car and I couldnt afford to fix it or buy a new car. Easy to assemble and I have no prior bike experience. I’m 28 years old and haven’t owned a bike since I was about 13 years old. I can’t reaally compare this to others but I can say this that this bike is extremely light weight at about 42 pounds with thin tires to pick up speed quickly. I absolutely love this bike and the gears are easy to change and the bike handles the road very well but the schock’s aren’t the greatest and you will feel every bump on the road. the only thing I could recommend to replace from day one is the seat. The seat is hard as a rock and after a few miles your butt will feel like its on fire. Other than that this bike is great for the road, bike trails, or commuting to work just replace the seat. All in all I give this bike two thumbs up and highly recommend it.
Great bike! I’ve riden about 50 miles already. Easy to install, the seat is a little uncomfortable, but you get used to it. It rides very good on the road and in bike trails.
