Haunted ink bottle

bike. The Bike was a good price.Easy to assemble The only thing I would like to have known when I ordered Schwinn Prelude Mens Road Bike was the color.

Not What I Expected. I had seen of lot of my comments in other reviews, but am nonetheless disappointed. For an item averaging above 4.5 stars, this bike does not meet expectations.

The shifters are indeed in an awkward position, and the brakes are only in the lower handles, which is also annoying. Most reviewers comment on being at least 5′9″, and I’d add…don’t buy this bike if you’re 6′ or taller. The petals and most of the time, my feet, hit the ground if you turn sharply.

Furthermore, the gear range (14) isn’t wide enough…the lower gear isn’t enough to climb steep hills and the highest gear isn’t enough to sustain pedaling once you have some real speed.

Overall, I learned I shouldn’t have been so cheap to buy a bike. If you want one, spring for the $400+ bike. The extra $200+ or so is well worth your happiness and willingness to ride the bike.

A great Start. After a stressful day of going around with an Avid cyclist, trying to find a good road bike to fit my budget, we gave up on going to all the local cycle stores and took our hunt online. We came across this bike and my friend was hesitant with giving it the o.k, however it turned out to be a good call. I’m around 5′10 200 lbs, and the bike fits me great, though as previously stated the handle bars are a bit iffy, but you get used to it pretty quick. After riding about a year I’m now ready to upgrade, but it’s definitely a great bike for any starter. I’ve put at least 500 miles on it and I stress at least, and its held up great.
