Schwinn Midmoor Bike for Men Review
I am very happy with the bike Schwinn Midmoor Men’s Hybrid Bike. The bike is solid but relatively light. If anybody’s looking for a step up from a basic ride-it-sometimes bike, this one is nice. If you’re still only going to ride it sometimes, then why bother?
It’s a little heavy to be called a road bike, which is probably why it’s not, and I’m still wondering why exactly there needs to be a suspension (which must have added a fair share of useless weight). Also, the handlebar isn’t as adjustable as most would like, and if you’re 6′ tall and one of those people who likes their legs to be fully extended when pedaling, it might not be possible on this bike. Frame feels very solid and strong, yet lightweight aluminum. After a professional tune-up (and the 2 components above replaced), the bike is handling great.
The shifter is a good Shimano shifter (but not their best of course, this is a $240 bike). The gear changer is a basic Shimano touring, but still a Shimano. Very easy to assemble. It is mostly assembled. You will need to have the brakes and gears adjusted, and the wheel trued.
Schwinn Midmoor should be advertised as great bike that needs some additional parts purchased (to replace the 2 cheap components that will break easily)!
I added a nice comfortable seat, rear and front lights, splash guards (I know they aren’t pretty, but necessary on a commuter bike, and actually looked pretty good with it). I might even add a rear rack, since this is now my official commuter bike. Once I poured some money in on repair mentioned above, accessories and a tune-up, I love this bike.
I wanted a nice durable bike just to run local chores but once I started riding this bike I found myself taking longer and longer rides. Aluminum frame makes it light weight for this type of bike. The wheels/spokes give it a distinct look. The seat could have been softer, but other than that it’s a great ride. I purchased the bike in August and up to this point it has been completely trouble free.
Schwinn Midmoor is a very nice bike for the money. Light, smooth ride and fast.
