Easy to assemble December 28, 2009
Marion G. Seltzer (Columbus, OH USA)

I ordered this because I'd seen another Amazon review saying the assembly was easy, and I was happy to find this is true for me too. Since there are no directions, I thought I'd do my part by giving other buyers a couple of tips. You will need a couple of hex wrenches -- I already owned one of those little Craftsman sets with all the sizes attached to the plastic grip handle. You will need the inch measurement ones, which is the set with the orange handle. This is the only tool required. You will need a pair of household scissors, too, and an air pump for the tires.
The bike will arrive with the handlebars detached and folded over by the cables and strapped to the bike frame with a plastic fastener strip. The front wheel and the seat post (with the seat already on) are also on the side of the frame. Cut the fastener strips off. To put the front wheel on, find the axle in the little cardboard box, put it through the wheel after uncrewing the axle cap so you can put it through the wheel. Now just put the axle through the front fork and flip the end lever on the axle to hold the front wheel on.
Put the seat post in, and then turn the lever on the band which adjusts the seat until you have the height and direction of the seat where you want it, and lock down the lever.
To put the handlebars on, first take the protective black cap off the end of the handlebar post. You do need to hold the handlebars just the right way because the cables are already attached, which is good in the long term. It took me about three minutes of trying several positions until I figured out how to slip the handlebar post in, but eventually the light bulb came on over my head and it was simple. Once they were in, it was a snap to put the handlebars where I wanted them. I took the protective little black cap off the adjustment nut at the top of the stem, and used the Craftsman allen wrench. Turning the nut makes the bottom of the handlebar stem 9down in the bike frame) expand and this holds the handlebars in position. After adjustment, put the protector cap back over the nut to keep the rain and dirt off the nut.
Now pump up both tires, and you are almost done. Now you just have to fasten the front brake cable. Use a smaller allen wrench from the Craftsman set to slightly loosen the nut which holds the cable, and thread the cable through the little holder bar on the left, and then put the cable back where it originally was, and tighten it. You can look at the back brakes to see how it goes.
The pedals are in the cardboard box with the axle for the front wheel, and they are labeled L and R so just match them to the L and R stickers on the crank arms, and screw in the pedals. You are done!
The whole thing did take me an hour, but that's because I had to figure it out. Now that you have the steps, you can do it all in half and hour, easy. Happy riding!

This bike is beautiful. It is made of great quality components. It rides easily and smooth. Front shocks and seat spring allow rider to take it off road with ease. Shifts easily. VERY comfortable for larger rider. I am extrememly pleased with this bike. Great for street riding, dirt roads and trails with rocks and roots. Comparable to higher priced bike store models.

Bike was easy to set up and is a pleasure to ride.
Everything is high quality, steel and even the stock seat is pretty comfy.
Great bike for a big and tall rider and a beginner.
This Schwinn excels at its price point. July 26, 2010

I acquired this Schwinn bicycle a little over a month ago and am, quite honestly, blown away at the quality of its construction. I think the part that impressed me most on this particular bike, was the accuracy of its shifting mechanisms, I spend a great deal less time fighting with my gears than the person I ride with. Just a few years ago I spent a considerably larger amount of money on a similar styled Trek bike, that quite frankly disappointed. When comparing the two and taking into consideration the price differences, I am much happier with the bang for the buck provided by this Schwinn.

This is a great bike, I bought this one for myself (I am 71" tall) and the womens version for my wife (she is 64" tall).
Then after getting them assembled descovered the little tag that says this (these) bike(s) are for a person 74" or taller.
