Been riding this Schwinn since about 1999, got my moneys worth out of it. The larger tire size make punctures a thing of the past, but it's a bit heavy. Once upon a time Schwinn made bikes like Trek, Cannondale, etc. but went downhill after they were sold in about 2000. Broke my collarbone in 2010 in a crash and got it pinned, but stayed off the bike for a year. Ready to get back out there!
