Schwinn Loop 7-Speed Folding Bike As the "5 star" Schwinn Loop 7-Speed Folding Bike rater said, the bike seems to come damaged in the mail. One of my wheel rims is bent, the bike shop tried to "true" it, but it creates a little wobble when riding. Unfortunately a new wheel is 40-60 dollars.
The BAD:
The actual bike is made and china, and thus has some cheap parts. I've had the bike for about a month, and have foreseen numerous repairs that will eventually have to be made.
The bike also has a cheap gearshift, and even after it being adjusted by bike professionals it still jumps somewhat.
The folding quality is poor in that it will take you a good 10 minutes to fold it up. You also need to buy some bungee cords to hold it together after it foldedSchwinn Loop 7-Speed Folding Bike.
This bike is extremely heavy for a folding bike. At least 40 pounds. Not buy if you will have to carry the bike for long distances.
The paint chips very easily.
THE GOOD Schwinn Loop 7-Speed Folding Bike:
Brakes (once adjusted) work extremely well. I guess the better make sure you aren't going to die on it.
It rides very smoothly when the gear shifter is working right. Very maneuverable.
The heavy frame is a Schwinn Loop 7-Speed Folding Bike detriment in carrying it, but comes in handy having a tough frame for a general solid ride. You don't really feel like you are riding a toy bike. It also protects from bends when transporting. It even has a derailer guard to protect it from getting bumped.
The seat it comes with is of extremely good quality as well as the handlebars.
It comes with a carrying bag, cheap Schwinn Loop 7-Speed Folding Bike but should last a little while at least.
Conclusion...
I paid 215.00 including shipping (well 230, since a tune up cost $15 which all bikes not sold from a bike shop need), which i feel was a far price considering this is a cheap beginners folding bike. However, Schwinn Loop 7-Speed Folding Bike I would unlikely buy it again.
I would rather pay the $440 for a dahon that is lighter and faster to fold. Dahon also offers a 16 inch wheel bike that is even more versatile as well as offering full size bikes that can be folded, some of which are tough mountain bikes.
Schwinn is nothing to scoff at, and that is why I passed up all other folding bikes on amazon. None of them (maybe minus one name brand) were worth even taking a second look at.
I would really like to give the bike four stars, but I can't solely because of the heavy weight, time consuming folding, and cheap derailleur. I can't give it a 2 because the bike is still worth the money rides nicely in general.
I would not, and have not taken the bike Schwinn Loop 7-Speed Folding Bike on a bus due to its heavy weight and bulky size even when folded. However it is effective on the BART or any bullet train situation because of more space.
I have written such a long review because i have had a month to test ride this thing and I feel it is my duty to inform consumers of my experience.
