yeah, and it's been out of stock for a bit on schwinn's site. doesn't include tax, plus time to assemble and tune up. if you've ever bought one of these schwinn's where you have to assemble it yourself, not uncommon for brakes/derailleurs to need some attention out of the box, which you'd be surprised how many people would just bring it to a bike shop and shell out more $ there.

it's in stock on amazon for $390 (in this color, looks like navy is the same look for $30 cheaper), but same jam, add tax and then you gotta assemble the thing. if that's your thing, do it!

Also just came across this one on Amazon: Vilano Diverse 3.0

Looking at the specs, anyone have an opinion on this vs the CTY 1.1?

(Note that I'd have to pay to tune this at a shop after building it)

Looks like a discover. Sold at Amazon and Walmart, which means it was assembled by an amateur, so it would be good to have a competent mechanic look it over.

Generally a low-end but OK bike, not a bad deal for $70, even factoring in the need for a mechanic check. Just one thing that I really don't like about it is the really cheap suspension fork which probably is heavy and doesn't feel very good. General advice is get a good suspension or no suspension. And for riding around campus no suspension is needed.

But still, for $70, not bad.

dont judge this is the amazon link. i got it on discount tho

Hi all. I was given an inexpensive used bike from a friend, a Schwinn Discovery City Series.

It had 2 flat tires and a broken brake so I brought it to a bike shop in town for a tune up and to fix anything that was wrong.

They replaced the 2 tubes inside the tires, and one tire itself needed to be replaced b/c the shop employee said it was split.

Both tires were the "mountain bike" style with little grips all over it. I just got home with the bicycle and noticed that the the front tire that was split and needed to be replaced is now a "smooth" tire without grips. Is this normal and or acceptable?

I know nothing about bicycles but it seems to me to be pretty weird to have 2 different style of tires on a bike.

Thanks

Tons. Head down to your local bike shop and check some out. Here's a decent one from Amazon but you should do your own research.

I am a total newbie, who hasn't ridden a bike in around 10 years. I am planning to get a bike just for riding around the neighborhood and at the local park, on pavement. Nothing fancy, nothing expensive. Just for a little extra exercise and such. I don't have more than $200 to spend. I was looking at this one and this one. Am I headed in the right direction? Again: total newbie, not looking for super high quality, looking to be frugal/bordering on cheap. Thank you! I'm so lost with this bike stuff!

If youre going for that style id recommend the Schwinn discover (womens model). Its a bit cheaper, and more practical as opposed to just looking cute. Its also pretty lightweight. If I remember correctly its weighs in around 30lbs give or take? Would be a great entry level bike for the price point which would leave you with some leftover cash for accessories like a helmet and basket. Just my two cents though.

This is all really helpful info. Thanks a lot.

Would something like this just be a piece of crap then?

So is something like this a good idea?

I bought it because of the relatively inexpensive price tag and because I live in an area with a bunch of rich cyclists so I couldn't afford to go to a local bike shop. The cheapest bikes they had were about 2-2.5x as much. I talked to a few friends who helped me scour the internet for a good deal and that's what they helped me decide on. Live and learn, I guess.

Thanks for the tip, I will definiteley keep and eye out for used bikes in the local area. My friend just ordered himself this bike seeing he is lighter and its on sale.

Thanks for the input, I think I will go with this bike: http://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-Discover-Mens-Hybrid-Wheels/dp/B0030U8SU6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382649201&sr=8-1&keywords=hybrid+bike+schwinn

It's a cheap hybrid by a reliable brand, with good reviews.
