I bought this bike a month ago, so far it`s being fast, light weight to carry up to my appartment, very good price compared to it`s shimano group set. Only thing that it may come with some manufacture defects, which cost nothing to fix. Mine, the lower bracket was installed incorrectly, but if u buy from amazon, you can fix it and the third party seller can reimburse you later.

For 300 dollars this bike works fine, definitely has some vibration and noise that comes and goes but no other issues. Assembly was super easy and the 3 way adjustment on the handlebars/seat/seat post are essential to getting comfortable. Friction adjustment is consistent and have never noticed any slipping as I go.

This bike is very lightweight and fun to ride.  The brakes on this Diamondback are just amazing.  I had a few problems were the steering wheel fell off while I was riding the bike (this could've been my fault for not tightening it all the way but I'm convinced it was tightened all the way) and another situation where the whole pedal arm fell off while I was biking, I was furious at that point and called Amazon and they shipped out another bike to me and within a few days I got it and sent the old one back free of charge and I haven't had any problems since on the new bike.  I'm very disappointed that it does not have a kickstand though, if i paid $300+ for a bike i would expect it to come with something like a kickstand at least.

i like this bike very much, i was riding my bike for 3 weeks now i am very pleasant with it.
to make my ride easy and folding ,  i tape a magnet in one side of the bike who face the other side when is folding to keep them together . i added folding pedals to reduce size and store inside my truck ( keep it dry and clean)
i change the brake pads for friendly koolstop compound salmon pads. to keep my ring in good shape and better performance.
this bike is heavy and well done , not easy to Carrie on metro. i believe is better  for short commute and keep inside your office.
now because is a cheap bike you need to do more tune on it. brake pedal and adjust the chain and Rear Derailleur to make them right. about customer service who gave me the bike called them about missing screws and damage fender, they sent a new fender with screws and extra pedals!!
i recommend this bike who needs a good cheap folding bike but who knows that he / she needs to bring to the bike more time and tune .
happy ride with it

I purchased this Schwinn partly because they seem to have maintained a long-standing  reputation for quality and also because I loved mine when I was younger. I primarily wanted a relatively lightweight , solidly built frame and this bike has it. The 700c wheels seems rather popular for hybrid bikes and have been well -received by many commuters. This wheel does not have nearly as much drag as a mtb tire and more protection and gripping power than a thin road bike tire.

The bike comes nearly fully assembled and is well packaged, inside an inner and outer protective carton. Setting up the handlebars, pedals and seat were a snap.

The whole process took about 15 minutes.

The frame is painted a very nice black (So I'm told, It actually looks dark green to my eyes), though it isn't the same frame seen in the product photo (The down tube is much thicker on the bike I received). The saddle is very, very comfortable and the adjustable sprung aluminum stem is a nice bonus, accommodating a variety of preferred sitting/riding styles.

Braking is very even and responsive with little fade. The bike feels well balanced while maneuvering and provides  very forgiving handling characteristics. The front suspension fork is lightweight and mostly responsive on the rebound. IMO, it needs a bit more pressure but I've yet to get to it.  I'd recommend experimenting with the proper pressure based on your weight and riding style.

The cables are well protected and insulated from the frame to avoid scratches.  The fenders and baskets are easily removed, should you choose to do so (I did. It took about 12 minutes because you need to remove the rear tire to get at a screw for the rear fender). Adding a quick release hub to the rear tire (the front tire already has one) would be an inexpensive and highly useful tool, IMO.

I'm about average height and weight (5'7"@ 165lbs) and I can ride for hours without discomfort on the stock saddle. Shifting is easy and  smooth and the system never skipped a gear, even when pedaling uphill and changing gears.

I recently compared this model to a few local bike shop products that cost $200+ more than the Schwinn. The overall workmanship/fit and finish of the Schwinn holds up well compared to the popular models I saw.

The bike is equipped with bike shop quality components, albeit not the high end, that will generally perform quite well.
After checking out several department store bikes from Walmart and Target, I'd definitely recommend staying away from the lesser quality bikes commonly sold in department stores. With few exceptions they tend to have cheaper, heavier frames and poor quality components and poor fit and finish in the assembly.

Comparing frames among several bikes (including this one) ranging in price from ~$300 to ~$900 yielded components of Chinese manufacture with finish of the welds, weight and general construction approximately equal.

I'm not suggesting the Schwinn Crrest is better than a well build bike shop bicycle like a mid-grade  Giant, Trek or Santa Cruz, but the latter could set you back anywhere from $600 to $2000, easily.

I am suggesting that, this bike is comparable, for the average, casual road or paved trail rider, to much more expensive bikes I've looked at and ridden.

Happy trails.. or roads

For the price, this bike is amazing. I get loads of compliments on the different colored tires. I've had it 2 years and it rides really well, no major problems. For people with big feet, be warned that the front wheel runs a little close to the pedals, so when you turn you might catch the wheel. For me, it's fine. Good speed, I like the single speeds.

I have had the Schwinn Midmoor for about 1 month now and have ridden it approximately 50 miles.  Out of the box, the bike is fairly easy to assemble.  I had to make one call to the Schwinn Customer Service while assembling the bike.  They were very helpful.  Im just going to split my review into pros and cons.

Pros:  Affordable, Good bike for larger riders(Im 6'3"/200), Fast, Well Constructed, Light, Good for road riding, Comfortable seat, Good Gear Shifters and Brakes.

Cons:  NO Fork suspension adjustment(I may purchase a rigid fork soon), The back hub was overtightened from the factory, Seat moves a bit, May require a safety isnspection from your local bike shop after assembling

This is an excellent bike for the price.  I was going to purchase a used commercial spin  bike, but while I could find good prices, I was put off by the cost of shipping.  When I found this one with the great price of $269 with free shipping, I couldn't pass it up.  Well, the bike arrived within 3 days and I could not of been more pleased.  It only took me about half an hour to take out of box and assemble with only 6 nuts and bolts. All the main parts were attached.  I was expecting it to be noisy, but it is not and with the over 40lb flywheel, you will get a workout.  It just takes a few minutes to get up to full cardio. I do want to add that if you are short this bike may not be for you.  I am short and I had to set everythin to its lowest setting for my height.  My inseam is 27" which would be the shortest for this bike.  I did change the seat to a softer seat that I had on my other bike, which is just my personal preference.  Overall I give the bike 5 stars, It's built like a rock, the price is great and it gives you a excellent workout.  It also looks great in the black and red.  It is not commercial quality, but will give you everthing you need for home use, you will not be dissapointed.  I have it in my theater room and cannot stay off it.  I can now get a great workout while watching movies instead of seating on my butt for 2 hours. I don't feel like I'm wasting time.

Got this bike just over a month ago, and so far it's been fantastic. It did take about 2 hours for me to assemble by myself, but the instructions were straightforward enough, and once assembled, the bike is very sturdy and stable.

For me, the best feature is the fact that it rarely squeaks and makes virtually no sound, which is great if you live in an apartment and like to ride later at night. It's good to know i won't be annoying anyone.

Overall i like the computer and the display, although it could be a little easier to set up a custom program. It's nice to see how fast you're going and how many calories you're burning.

Te seat isn't the most comfortable after awhile, but it's an exercise bike, not a recliner. For exercise purposes, it's fine.

One minor note: the front handlebars can come loose a bit easily if you hold them a lot, just keep the allen wrench they give you handy for occasional tightening.

It can really provide a terrific workout. I started in the lower levels, and in a month i've advanced to almost the highest levels, and have lost quite a bit of weight. There's also many pre-programmed routines, so even if you reach the bike's toughest resistance levels, you'll always have plenty of workout options.

This bike provides an easy to do workout that you can do in your own place and not make excuses to avoid it. Just stick the bike in front of a TV, and go for 40-60 minutes. Before you know it you're done and you've burned a few hundred calories. Can't recommend this enough.

Had the bike for about a week and have used it everyday. Very, very happy with purchase. Lots of research before I purchased this bike as I am accustomed to commercial quality bikes in the gym. Purchased largely because of the heavy frame and fly wheel- in addition to seat and handle bar adjustments. Good ergonomics and comfy ride. Would give the bike 5 stars except I need more time to determine how it wears. Truly a great bike for the price. Very happy so far.

Oh, I had a friend put the bike together. It was easy for him to do - in under 20 minutes.

Awesome and capable bike with surprisingly good quality components for the price.

We ordered this bike and it arrived as promised after about 8 days and the box  had no sign of damage.  When I opened the box and removed the bike from the box I noticed there was some scratches on the frame paint (2-3 inches long) and the front wheel had a broken spoke.  I was able to return the unit for exchange with another one. The second one came sooner (7 days), again no damage to the box, but the paint had some scratches.  This time it wasn't too bad, so I decided to keep it.  I converted the front wheel hub with a quick release type for about $30 which makes it easier to use on bike carrier.  Also, despite some of the other reviews this bike now comes with the rubber cover around the inside of each rim to protect the inner tubes from any punctures.

Pros - The bike is overall great design and quality,  It has two water bottle holders that aren't shown in the pictures.  The seats are very nice and soft (no need to buy the softer seats).  Not as heavy as some other models I've seen.  Very good seating / posture position and doesn't make you feel cramped when riding up front.

Cons - Sometimes there are paint quality issues due to packaging.  The speed shifter needed some adjustments to change through all speeds properly.

I've had the bike a little over 3 years now, I ride it everyday as a commuter and it's held up very well.  I replaced the saddle pretty quickly as it wasn't exactly comfortable, and the pedals to move to SPDs.  Those are the only parts I changed due to needing to "upgrade" them. I've the work i've had to do to the bike because of wear over the last 3 years are: replace the rear cassette, lower mounting bracket, rear wheel (twice.. taco'd them on big pot holes.. city riding is hard), and all the cabling.  I didn't have to do *any* work on the bike for the first 8-9 months other than assembly. That's really not *too* much work considering I ride the bike *everywhere* and *everyday* for at least 7 miles a day.

The frame is nice and light, and the bike was a decent price when I picked it up.  When the first round of work I was thinking about upgrading, and couldn't find a bike I liked to ride as much as this one until I started getting onto CAAD10s (which are ~1500), to give you an idea of the quality to cost here.

Very nice bike for the price, exceeded my expectations shifting performance was on point ,rear suspension softened the road pretty well, the weight actually wasn't even an issue imo (don't take my word for it tho I'm just spoiled by road bike weight). it looks exactly as pictured as well, one thing though I found that me being 6.0 the seatpost was a little too short making it difficult for me to pedal. after a quick trip to the bike shop and 25$ later on a new seat post I was good to go but  Overall I love the bike

I'm very happy with the quality of the bike at this price point. A Brompton would have been nice, but not at 10 times the price of this bike. Still working on getting the handlebar to feel adjusted correctly. Buying a bicycle in a box will always need ajustments for the brakes, seat, etc.

I really like this bike.  It looks great and was fast when i took it out on the road.

it comes 90% assembled and is really easy to figure out on how to get it together.

Just take note that you need 2 different sized allen keys if you want to assemble it like i wanted to.  I don't have many tools and had to borrow them.

Solid bike-well shipped-easy assembly (believe me if I am saying easy it's easy!)
Extremely sturdy- I am 260 which is why I bought it and it is just fine. Typical computer seems a bit cheap plastic but does what it says.
Everything else on the bike is very very sturdy and well made. Put my SPD's on it.
