Schwinn Volare Hybrid Bike (700C Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first hybrid bike. It's basically a road bike with a flat handle bar, which was exactly what I was looking for. I had a BMX that was stolen so I decided to purchase this hybrid based on the brand and price. There were no reviews online for this bike to help influence me before I purchased it, that's why I'm submitting my first review. I watched a few videos online on how to assemble a road ride, which was helpful. Assembling the bike was easy, front wheel, handle bar, pedals and seat. Next, I pumped the tires to their correct air pressure and adjusted the seat for a comfortable fit. After that there was nothing else to do other than to give it a test ride. The gears and the brakes were easy to use and they needed no adjustments. The bike is very quite when pedaling. It is light weight and nice to ride. I've owned this Schwinn Volare S5460 for about a month now and so far so good. I purchased a gel seat cover because the seat was paining the nerves out my @ss. The only thing about the gel seat cover is that I don't really like how it looks over the seat. I'm thinking about getting a narrow road bike seat that heard is as comfortable. It's a good looking bike; I like the frame, wheels and the colors. The frame is 18" and the wheels are 700c(very slim). I bought a blue and white multi-sport helmet to match the bike's paint job. I'm 5'7" and the bike fits me good. If you're over 6 feet then you'll need a bigger frame. Four things I recommend you get if you're going to purchase this bike, a comfortable seat, a helmet, a pump w/ an air pressure gauge and a high security lock. I"ll post some pictures.
