SchwinnNetwork 1 Hybrid Bike, 700c Mens and Womens Bike, 21-Speed Hybrid Bicycle, Aluminum Frame, Suspension Fork, Alloy Linear Pull Brakes, Adult Bicycle

Surprisingly Great bike I’ve had for a few years now. I’m 6’2 and this bike is great for me. At the time I purchased, I was using daily at 200 - 215 pounds and riding multiple miles a day.Still holding strong. Make sure to take care of it and it will take care of you.Can’t go wrong with price and build quality. Also extremely easy to assemble.

Schwinn Network 1.5 700c /28mm Matte Blue 15 inch FrameI was a bit nervous about buying a bike online since I read the reviews how some customers were missing parts to the bike. Also I wasn’t too sure about the size, I just went with the suggested sizing according to my height on the Schwinn sizing chart. The bike came with all parts included thankfully (except tools of course), and the size was correct for my height ( more about the height further down -keep reading.)Since I knew I was going to assemble this bike, I watched a lot of videos on how to assemble. And they were all different but similar. The instructions provided are universal, and the video on the Schwinn website is universal as well. But it wasn’t hard to figure out, it was actually less steps than the videos.I’m 5 Foot 7 Inches, and this bike is perfect for standard sizing. I have to put the seat all the way down so it can be to my height level. Only my toes reach the ground while I sit on the seat. I was looking for a bike that let’s put my feet flat on the floor while I’m sitting. I’m actually looking for expert advice to see if I can change my wheel from the 28” to a 26 or even 24 inch. Not sure if I can yet. Other than that, it’s a good bike, packaged really well, super protected.

I had hard time in adjusting/aligning front and back wheel. Also, break was always touching the tire. Manual is also quite generic and not specific to this bike.Not best to buy from Amazon. Better to get it from some local shop where they can assemble and tune for the first use.

I really didn't want to pay the price at a local bike shop for a Giant or Trek so I opted for the Schwinn. I'm a casual rider with my mountain biking days behind me now. I just wanted a comfortable bike to ride on the roads or soft trail. For my purpose this bike fits the bill. The quality seems to be there for what the price paid is. The bike came with all the parts the instructions were easy enough and parts seem to be of good quality. I've used the bike a dozen rides and I'm happy with it so far.

This bike was used a grand total of two times before the chain started outright slipping off every single time I pedalled a full rotation (I had spent over a month by that point just gradually buying safety equipment.) - The shifter had broken after the first use due to falling off a half-foot curb while shifting, and the only clue I go that anything was wrong before attempting to shift with the left shifer was a small clicking noise while pedalling.The second ride, I tried to shift and didn't. Then the clunking started as I was heading back home at 8 PM.Then, at 9 PM, on a friday night, during sub-30-degree weather, the chain slipped totally off. I put it back on and tried to get far enough to safely check what was wrong... and after one full cycle of the pedals, it fell off again. I put it back and the same thing happens a third time.I spent several hours stranded. Hypothermia was setting in and my friends had been unable to locate me for almost an hour and half after that. My fingers kept losing sensation when I wasn't holding them against my chest under my jacket. I was starting to feel warm, and giddy. I knew I could die, and for some reason it became hillarious to me. I don't understand how, and it's not funny now.My friend lucked out and found me at the side of the road. I was too tired, I could barely must the energy to move. Every step I took was careful, measured. I was leaning on my bike for balance. Then we had to take it apart and I had to climb into the car. I managed to get in, but I had to move slowly to make sure I didn't step in the wrong spot.Today is two days later. I checked and I'm missing several of the 6-8 tiny parts that had to be removed to fit the bike inside their car. Probably still in that parking lot. I spent over $500 on this bike, now it's nothing but spare parts to sell to recoup a fraction of the cost. I left my house for the first time in over a week then, but now I have yet another reason to stay home and avoid the outdoors, avoid having to risk freezing once more for the sake of a social life.I have learned to fear the cold, to stay home, and to never trust a bicycle again. This lesson was taught to me by Schwinn.Edit: if your box arrived damaged and you threw it out, you are stuck with the item. A replacement box to ship costs a minimum $169 and Amazon will not provide one or schedule any pickup without one. I am out a bike, a possible job, and the money I spent on this item.Schwinn cost me more than I spent on the bike. I am ruined. Never trust the returns department and never trust this brand.

I'm in my 60s and don't want to bend over. I just comfortably cruise around. It's very smooth riding. The color is beautiful. I highly recommend.

Bike came well-protected in box with minor final assembly steps: 1) front tire, 2) handlebar, 3) seat and pedals. That’s it! Brakes were perfectly calibrated. Had to inflate tires a bit and one final check on the real derailleur. The Network 1.5 frame is small (15”) and it is a great fit for my wife at 5’2”. Great ride!
