Color: BlackSize: 17-Inch Frame/ClassicVerified Purchase
I am six foot and 275 pounds and afraid of breaking some cheap bikes. I also thought front shocks were for fools. Really pleased with this bike for fit, strength, comfort and simplicity. I bought from a warehouse deal. The box was really beat, the bike was covered with a LOT of dust, but no real damage except the rear fender which you can just reshape by hand. One really weird thing, and I am not wrong about it, is the cranks and pedals were all mismarked, so they are on the wrong sides. I haven't felt it necessary to reverse them.

Update, I was wrong about the pedals. They were correct. Right side is reverse thread.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing beginner bike!
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2020
Color: BlackSize: 17-Inch Frame/ClassicVerified Purchase
As a newbie to the hobby, I don’t know much yet, but this bike seems like a solid beginner bike to me! It arrived mostly assembled, just had to attach front wheel, seat, handle bars, and front fender. Simple and easy ride, good for leisurely commutes and introductory rides.

Assembly instructions were hard to follow since I didn’t know the name of most of the parts, so get some help! Everything will need tweaking too; after assembly a friend (and experienced rider) helped me adjust both brakes and and the gear system. So I’d recommend finding a local shop or experienced rider to help you true everything up and share some pro tips.

1.0 out of 5 stars Instructionless 'bike', absolute garbage
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020
Color: BlackSize: 17-Inch Frame/ClassicVerified Purchase
Unpackage the bike and throw the instructions directly in the garbage. They are useful only as a general overview on what needs to be done. They are NOT accurate to the model of the bike, and do not cover some incredibly important aspects of building it. Their youtube assembly video is just as useless. Refer to Park Tools' youtube videos for instructions.

Bike seat - the tube faces the wrong way - loosen the nut on the right (looking at the bottom of the seat, pipe down) several turns until the teeth loosen enough to allow you to click the pipe towards you. Drop the seat onto the bike, and angle it so it is level to the pavement and retighten.

Attaching the fender - do not use a screwdriver - use an alan wrench. The screws were attached too tightly to the frame, and you WILL strip them. Loosen with an alan wrench first, and be careful, you can strip them even with an alan wrench.

The Caliper brakes will stop you from attaching the front tire, and are not mentioned in the instructions. Examine the spot where the wire connects the two sides of the brake calipers - you will notice a metal bracket captures a steel drum on the line, with a rubber dingy next to it. Pinch the calipers towards each other and pull the metal drum out to separate the brakes. Place your tire in. You will likely not be able to reattach the drum to the bracket of the calipers as the tire takes up too much space. Use your 5 hex wrench on the nut to the right to allow more tension. Be careful, on both of my bicycles, the wire caps were improperly crimped and fell off as soon as touched, leaving sharp, frayed metal wires exposed.

I would not have purchased these bikes had I seen the instructions first.

Update: (I had purchased 2)
First bike right side pedal ripped out on 4th bike ride, the metal threading completely sheered out. Bike repair shop laughed and said it's not worth a repair.
Update: 6th bike ride, second bike right side pedal ripped out, completely sheering the threading out. These bicycles should be considered single-use.

My husband had no issues assembling the bike, but he is handy. My 11 year old son is 5’4” and the bike fit him perfectly. Since we are the same height, I test drove the bike And it was smooth and easy. Gear shifting was smooth, too. The seat is super comfy, although I only rode it for 10 minutes or so. My husband got on it just to take it in a loop and he said it felt good to him, too. The seat has a lot more adjustment available. Great bike for the money. Plus my son loves the way it looks.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Suburban Blues"
Reviewed in Canada on August 9, 2022
Color: BlackSize: 17-Inch Frame/ClassicVerified Purchase
Hello, well the bike came all beat up in the cardboard box probably due to the dolts who did the shipping, handling and delivery. The front wheel was devoid of the right nut that held it onto the bike which was super difficult to find in local bike shops due to the threading, etc. The rear fender was dented and the front wheel was not balanced and wobbled slightly. I put it together alone and the assembly took a couple of hours in an exercise in futility hunting down missing parts. My son seemed pleased with my operation as the bike functioned well and is super heavy. It is really at home in the suburbs as its namesake implies, "The Suburban." The manufacturer should give me a rebate of some sort or replace the bike entirely.

P.S.- I was impressed with the follow up by Amazon and the Schwinn company with respect to my 'Suburban Blues' complaints. Amazon reimbursed me $100 for damages and the Schwinn people gifted me a new wheel, wheel nuts and hopefully the rear fender will arrive soon. The blues have gone away for another day!

Respectfully yours; Jack

Although the bike arrived undamaged it had several defect that I could not resolve & finally took the bike to a reputable bicycle repair shop. At a cost of $80.00 they would make any adjustments. I am still waiting to get the bike back from the shop.
Fail to understand why an item would require so much adjustments that a small engine technician such as myself couldn’t accomplish!
