Does the Mongoose Status Bike have an "ahead" handlebar stem? Can it ride on grass terrain? I need something that is compatible with the YEPP seat?

Yes and I haven't really tried in grass areas as I live in the city and I don't know about the yepp thing.

The bike comes with tools to put the handle bar on and I would buy bullhorn handle bars from Retrospec and it should work fine. They would also sell a longer cable if needed.

I have an older type men's Novara with the upper bar parallel with the ground. Where the wheel fork leaves the upper weld area, there are a pair of screw studs for mounting the front forks of the seat. It's been more than a year since I mounted it, and working great. I don't remember if there were any other seat mounting options included with the seat.

Hi,The Ridgeback will come with a nylon strap that you can definitely use to secure the wheels of the bike so that the handlebars will not be swinging or spinning.Thanks,Rack Attack

You can and should only mount it to the handle bar stem. The iBert seat needs to move the handle bars or else you won't have any room to maneuver the bike

It comes with a mount that will rotate at 90 degree increments so you can mount to the bars or your stem. Its a great cycle comp, ive had a few and this is by far my favorite.

Hi Walter- I was looking for one myself, and here's the nearest thing I could come up with: the Shade To Go canopy, sold by Chubby's Cruisers ($50.00). It attaches to the seatpost and handlebars, and is long enough to keep the rider out of the sun. I would advise looking it up on Google before you buy-it doubles the height of the bike, and has a parachute-like appearance. I was advised by the guy at the bike shop that this is the only one that will fit the Schwinn Meridian. I hope you found this post helpful.

The turning "system" is great with the fixed axle. It makes "K" turns easier. But don't confuse the stability with ability for higher speeds. There is no way to adapt the steering bar to the user. Yes. I'm a cyclist but it's an easy modification. A taller user will feel confined by the narrow bar which is extremely sensitive. Don't take a hand off or weight off the bar. It's not wide enough... All hands on the bars, full attention, before starting to move. If it looks like I'm going past 4 months, it's most likely getting a simple bar stem attached.

Haven't had a chance to add one yet. But heads up it's kind of a cheap bike. Just had to Upgrade seat and handlebars.

I looked at a couple of pictures of this Schwinn model. It doesn't look like it has the rear mounting posts that newer bikes have. Supposedly that isn't a problem because you can use P clamps to create mounting posts on the two tines or frame extensions that normally have these posts. However, I'm not even sure that the Schwinn sports world has two tines. (This wording is pretty awkward.) You may want to take your bike to a bike shop and ask an expert. You may only be able to use the time of rack that wraps around the seat post. I have one of those, and it works quite well.

Yes, you able to sit upright without holding the handlebars and no, you do not lean forward.You will love this bike. The handlebars are not far from your body. I hope this helps. You will not be disappointed!!!

I replaced the original RockShox Indy XC with 63mm travel from my 1997 Specialized Rockhopper A1-FS Comp. It dropped the front maybe by 1/2 inch which I didnt really notice in use. Nice ride but you feel the bigger bumps. I'm happy with it. Certainly looks sharp.

Hi Glen,I'm using it on a dropbar now. I have a Raleigh Revinio 3, but now that I'm typing this I realize that one of the "features" on this bike was the fact that the cables were under the handlebar tape so maybe that's not a good benchmark. I actually bought this bag before I got that bike though, and the bike I originally had it on was a flatbar Schwinn. That did still have cables in the front, but they didn't got out forward, they actually ran sideways (so paralell with the handlebar), and I was easily able to just tuck them behind the bag when it was clipped on - with no effect on performance.Hope that helps,Tim Hi Glen,I'm using it on a dropbar now.

There are two kinds of front fork/handlebar systems. (1) The old style pre-2000 or so, where you loosened up a long bolt on top, and then, could slide the bars up and down about 3 inches. It was an expanding bolt inside the front fork.(2) The newer style where there is a handlebar mount that clamps onto the outside of a fixed length front fork. These do not have that adjustment. The Montague Paratrooper I bought has this newer type, so no adjustment - to my knowledge. The only way to raise the handlebars is to get a different "clamp" that holds the handlebars to the front fork, that has some lift in it. There are even some that are adjustable. This would be a second purchase after the bicycle. There are two kinds of front fork/handlebar systems.

I am small and just tried to stand and petal. I could...but did not like to. I don't recommend you use this bike that way unless you talk with Schwinn. It may not be safe. This is by far the best bike I have ever had. It is comfortable, and just a very pleasant ride. It has features to please all. I just love the ride! Please contact them before you decide if you can stand to ride.

It doesn't work if you want to mount the sensor on the rear wheel. I just tried it and no go. My handlebar is 34" from the sensor and it's too far away (max. is 27"). I need to return the unit and exchange it for a wired one.
