Bike was easy to assemble and in perfect condiction when it arived. My husband uses it to ride to work everyday. Only a couple of miles but 7 gears is more than enough. Can’t beat the price.

This model is a cool vintage styled bike. At around fifty lbs. this thing is no lightweight by any means. I’ve seen aluminum framed variants but they’re pricey. Being somewhat mechanically inclined will be a plus in assembling, setting up and adjustments. Proper fitment for the individual rider goes without saying. You’ll most likely have to adjust the derailer for proper operation. Same goes for the brakes. I had the thing apart and back together twice just to lay hands on it and make sure everything was to my liking. I splurged and added a Brooks B67 seat, new old stock Torrington signal pedals and rocket shaped grips to compliment the old school style of the bike. I also picked up a pair of reproduction fenders to later chop, paint and install. Good winter project. A NOS aluminum ‘rat trap’ rack should make fetching the mail more fun than walking. That’ll be on as soon as I install the threaded studs in the frame dropouts so I can quickly install and detatch the rack with stainless wing-nuts. The wheels run pretty true but I plan to pick up a spoke wrench to pull them dead center. The chain guard is on the flimsy side and needed alignment to keep the crank from hitting it but I plan to remove it and give it along with the fenders I’d gotten elsewhere, a coat of rattle can spray-on truck bed liner to protect the back sides and reinforce them. I’d picked up a repro chrome springer front end and head set for it but don’t plan to run it until I can source a proper front brake since it has no provisions for anything but maybe a ‘found’ caliper or expensive drum or disc brake set up. They were otherwise originally found on coaster brake bikes and the later ‘Crate’ models. All in all, this is a nice bike. Just don’t think that you’re going to be pleased with it unless you properly set it up. Mine sits behind me, in the next room. Fun just to look at really. Most people that see it think it’s too cool foor school.

Bought this bike for my son for his birthday, and he loved it. It is a very good looking bicycle, and seems to be built well. Had a little problem putting the front wheel on, (Forks where too close and very hard to seperate) but overall a very nice bike.

I ordered this bike thinking it’s a Schwinn, it’s got to be a decent bike. When it arrived, I assembled what was not already done-not a big deal, but the brakes where impossible to adjust. I wanted to take it for a test drive to find myself come to a complete halt. Literally, the first 3 seconds of taking off, the whole gear shifter broke and went into the spokes in the tire and the chain was hanging there. If you want a cheap bike that’s going to break literally before you get to ride, buy this one.

This bike came partially assembled from the factory. The brakes rub on the wheels despite numerous attempts to adjust them. The bike is too short from the seat to handlebar (I’m only 5′-7″) making the bike hard to ride. The wheels (rims) are not true and you can watch the front tire whobble as you ride. Would I buy one again? NO!
