What do you expect for $170, Dura Ace?

 

[edprush]

? Men?s touring bike by Schwinn features aluminum road frame and fork
? Shimano 14-speed drive train with Shimano shifters
? Dual-pivot caliper brakes; alloy road crank
? Aero 36-spoke alloy wheels with radial-laced front; toe clips and straps

This is friggin' awesome, I bet!

 

[edprush]

On top of that, it is normally a $200 bike!

 

[slikmunks]

my friend actually found that yesterday when he was looking at bikes, lol!!

 

[Randum]

lol if you wnat a road bike and are not a serious riding, why the hell not!? just be sure everything is tight...thats cheap as hell

 

[PricklyPete]

Every bike doesn't have to be some $1K+ grade bike....just like every camera doesn't have to be a $1K+ DSLR. People have different needs. I'm sure a $170 bike at Target is more than a lot of people need to buzz around town. Don't be so elitest.

Uh, I'll pass. Schwinns aren't even what they use to be anymore.

<blech>

Seriously, Schwinns are cheap China made brand bikes now. They are bulky, shoddily made, and have cheap components that are hard to fine tune. For $170, I would just craiglist an old bike and pay a little more.

**EDIT**
BTW, I just sold my old bike for $250 to a friend. The wheels alone were about $200. Meh he got a good deal, but whatever, I have my TT bike to ride anyways. The other bike though was super comfy. The geometry was great (classic frame). I feel kind of sad parting with it, but it had to go sometime.

 

[Kelemvor]

Schwinn? Blech. Give me a Huffy any day.

From the review

"It runs real smooth and goes very fast"

Well that's good. I wouldn't want to get one of those slow bikes.

From the additional info

"Item can not be gift wrapped"

What's up with that?

 

[gsellis]

Shipping weight 42 lbs. Figure box and materials are about 5, so a bit on the heavy side. There are good deals on Craigslist.

For investments in Nigeria.

 

[edprush]

I went to Target and they had reduced the price to $152!!!!

 

[Azndude51]

Who needs a road bike when you could get one of these babies instead. The chicks would be all over you.

 

[edprush]

I'd need to get a tattoo to pull-off that ride.

 

[edprush]

Well I bought the bike for $159 and let me tell you man, it looks very nice.
