Beautiful Pink Nightmare,
I’ve had nothing but Schwinn bikes in my life and until now they’ve never failed me. I purchased this bike and took it directly to a bike shop to have it professionally assembled. It was beautiful. No dents.. no chips.. big, thick, tires.. perfection. I picked it up from the shop and took it out for a spin. It was bliss. Then the brakes started squeaking. Then the rear wheel became rather noisy. I expected this from reading the reviews here. Before I bought it, I thought, “Okay, I can live with a noisy bike.” The further I went, however, the worse it got. I took it back to the shop that same day. It turns out that the coaster break mechanism was binding in a defective rear hub. This is more than just outrageous noise. It’s actually unsafe.
I called Pacific Cycle and they said they didn’t know when they could send me a new part. They advised me to call Amazon. I called Amazon and they offered to pay for return shipping. Mind you, this is just a simple, inexpensive, one speed bike. I paid eighty dollars to have it properly assembled. Now I was looking at paying again to have it disassembled and packed, then another eighty to assemble a new one. Alternatively I could wait, hopefully replace the part, hope that it’s the right one, hope that it’s not defective too, and pay again to have it fixed. Or, I could take a huge loss on the whole thing, pay more to have it taken apart and packed, or just junk it, and pay again for a better bike and another assembly.
As of now, the bike lives in the shop. Amazon has granted me a partial refund, Pacific Cycle called back and said they’ve shipped the part, and I’m seeing the necessity of redundancy. I’m going to buy a Pink Cadillac bike and, if all goes well, keep this one as a spare.
To sum up, had I to do it again, I would not have purchased this bike.

Update: Thirteen days later…
Pacific Cycle didn’t ship the part after all. In fact, they can’t even say for sure when they’ll get them in stock again. They’ve given me an estimate of three months. I’m going to pick my bike up from the shop tomorrow and bring it home. I ordered it from Amazon in May. Now I’m looking at ‘maybe’ having it fixed by oh, September?

|Love my new bike!,
I had read reviews of other Schwinn bikes and was apprehensive as there were many complaints of poor packaging, and that the bikes were difficult to put together.
In my case, the bike was delivered in under one week, (FREE, thank you AMAZON) The packaging was more than sufficient to protect the contents. The bike required some assembly. The assembly was a little tricky because there were no instructions, but I managed to have it up and running in about a half an hour.
I am not an intense “cyclist” by any means, and I find this bike to be comfortable and cute as hell. As a bonus, I added the basket to thoroughly embarrass my teenage sons.

|Easy, comfy, very pretty!,
Was not hard to assemble with an extra pair of hands. I love this bike! So easy, like the ones when i was a kid. I use this bike with a child carrier, and it is perfect. Nice wide cushy seat for the bum, allows you to sit up straight and leisurely ride, not hunkered over the handlebars. If you just want to cruise, this is the bike! Wide tires – even tho it’s from China now, it still seems a quality, heavy-duty bike.
