Schwinn Discover Hybrid Bike Best Price

Hybrid Mountain Bikes - I looked at numerous bikes in the price range of $170 to $300 and found that this one gave the best quality and component for the money. Until I found the Schwinn Discover Hybrid Bike. I am very Happy with the bike is everything I expected it to be. This bike was easy to setup and once I took care of some of the fine tuning (adjust the seat/handle bars) it rides great. Brake levers felt solid and not cheap. Grip shifters also feel solid and no problems shifting. The back luggage rack is of solid construction and is not cheap feeling at all. The kick stand is really good and sturdy. The adjustments are a bit trickier, but I was fortunate to have a friend who races bikes and was able to get me set up and offer me lots of great tips. The bike worked perfectly the first time, no adjustments were needed. I would highly recommend this Schwinn Discover Hybrid Bike.

Schwinn Discover Hybrid Bike Customer Reviews

A great inexpensive aluminum frame bike with great features for riding around town and hauling stuff home - By W. ANDERSON

The number you are looking for is 35.2 to maybe 35.4 lbs for the weight of this bike, that is as close as my bathroom digital scale could get, and yes this bike does have the Aluminum frame. With it's black paint and "Schwinn" name on it, this is the ultimate sleeper bike, looking like one of those cheap Chinese made bikes that weigh much more with a steel frame, no one will guess this is actually a nice bike. So this is probably the only aluminum frame bike that doesn't have "steal me" written all over it, and is probably going to still be there when you come out of the store even with just a mid-grade bike lock on it. This is a great price for a low end Aluminum bike and it comes with just the right features.

The twenty one speeds are managed with a left hand twist handle grip with three speeds for the front derailer, and a right hand twist handle grip for the rear derailer with 7 speeds. The bike does have the quick release on the front wheel.

One point to be aware of, is this is a large bike, the seat is at the lowest setting, is 36 ¼ inches above the ground, I am 5-10 and I am barely tall enough to ride this bike. The shock absorbing seat post raises the seat by an inch, so the seat could be lowered a bit more by replacing the seat with a regular seat. But I like the shock absorbing seat post and front fork, I don't think the roads are going to be getting smoother in the future with the way things are heading in the world. This is also a great bike for hauling things, I recommend a pair of Basil Cardiff Rear Baskets that can hang on the back wheel rack. The fenders are another important feature, since although Schwinn doesn't recommend riding in the rain, (who does? But what are you going to do?) fenders on bikes were designed to keep the water spray off of the rider, otherwise merely riding on a wet surface will spray water up the front and back of the crouch of your paints. That is why I insist on fenders, just imagine walking into your local grocery store looking that way. The small chain guard seems to be large enough to keep my paints out of the chain. There are reflectors in each wheel and one on the back and one on the front. The bike of course doesn't come with a light or a bell. A good light is a must if you end up having to ride home in the dark, also not recommenced by Schwimn, and a horn or bell is a good idea if you ride where people walk so you can let them know that you are coming up behind them so they don't unknowingly step sideways in front of your bike at the last minute.

The bike arrived in a double thick box, the inner box was beat up with some holes while the other box was in fine shape. It appears that Amazon or Schwinn has the bikes shipped to them, and after a quick look over, are placed in a larger box and shipped to the customer. (Hint, Sears also carries the Discover bike)
