 Smooth riding bikeSep 30, 2005
By S. Rodriguez
I bought this bike for my 11 year old son who is currently 5'6" and growing. I chose the free shipping and originally Amazon estimated it to be delivered two weeks after I put in the order. It actually came one week later and I was able to track it through UPS after Amazon sent me the tracking number. I feel that I got a great deal since there was no tax and no shipping charges -- I also saw the price go up $15 in less than a week.
It came almost fully assembled -- thank goodness! My brother said he would help but I found that it was best to go to a local bike shop to put on the wheel and handlebars. At the same time, they made sure it was adjusted properly and in safe working order. Although I got it done for free (it was through a friend), I would have paid $20-25 to have make sure that it is done properly.
I live in New York City -- this past weekend was beautiful weather here and I asked my kids if they wanted to go bike riding in Central Park. My son, which I found out later, was scared to get on his new bike because he thought it was too big for him. I took it instead (I'm 5'5") and it was a pleasure to ride. I may add that I haven't been on a bike in many years. I wasn't sure if it was too big or would I understand how to use the gears, but everything went fine and it was perfect, especially with the adjustable seat. It rode very smooth and I really enjoyed it. I probably will order the same bike for myself as I don't have one currently.
I think since he sees that I was able to ride it, he is less scared of trying it. I would highly recommend this bike and it was a very good experience ordering something through Amazon -- my first time.

Great Bike for anyone who wants to get back on 2 wheelsAug 18, 2008
By Tony A
I bought this bike for myself to get back into shape since at 50 I was a little out of shape.I chose this Schwinn High Timber because of the style which is perfect for someone like me with a bad back (no need to lean hunched over).The Bike arrived Friday afternoon it took less than 1/2 Hr to put together, the only delay was adjusting the front brake to get the wheel on and re-adjusting the brake for riding (loosen cable to release brake & tighten back after you install front tire ).The seat is a little hard but Im no teenager so I bought a seat pad to ease the hardness .After everything was checked over I took the bike down by the lake which has hills & winding paths . The Schwinn High Timber ran great, easy shifting and smooth ride.The bike does not come with a water bottle but I bought a Schwinn bottle & cage For $15 dollars at the store there are 2 allen screws on the frame to mount it with ease. I hope this review helps because there were none when I bought mine But this is a great bike for any age and Great Price

Back to Bike RidingOct 19, 2005
By Douglas Dauntless
One of the main reasons I wanted a bike was for basic "around town" transportation and to and from work. Especially now, with the price of gas and auto insurance. I'd thought that riding a bike would be easier on the pocket book. And having looking around for a nice affordable bike, I thought that the Schwinn would fit my bill, perfectly. I knew that they made a nice quality bike, was one of the strong points, and it is. I was luck enough to have seen the bike first hand at my local K-mart, and I was impressed with it. Especially since they have them basically fully assembled for no extra cost. I did have to local bike shop help me to center the handle bars and I bought a tire level. But basically the bike rode great, and the brakes and gears were easy to use. I was surprised how smooth the bike rode, just for having it right out of the store. It had been many years since I really ridden a bike, but I was the best so far. I had one other small problem, I had to level out the bike seat, but I fixed that problem, myself. But basically, I think that bike did provide the best bang for the buck. If those wanted to really take it off road and ride it on the trail, I'd switch the tires for something more knobby and maybe, see about tuning the front shock forks, if that were possible. But it's Ok, for regular street use and for a nice ride in the park. I'd recommend it, if you want a nice bike without the big buck price tag.

Unbelievable bike for the price!Dec 11, 2007
By Michael Montayer
"MLM"
I was looking for a cheap bike to hold me over until I could afford a TREK or other mountain bike. I saw this and it was dirt cheap. When this baby came I was flabbergasted. It came with the SAME frame I was going to buy that was on the TREK bike. I quality of this bike far surpasses its cost. The Sram brakes, the Shimano gears, the rims, the seat, the handle bars, all top notch. ESPECIALLY the fork. My BMX bike buddies LOVE the fork on this bike. The only problem, the pedals. Cheap plastic. Went out and bought some Animal pedals and this bike is now my main bike. I have taken it through its paces, jumping down long stairs at parks, riding down long concrete stairs at trick biking spots in NYC and I have been keeping up with BMXers on my mountain bike! This bike should be at least 3x the cost. Grab it while you can!

Best bike I ever had!Oct 20, 2007
By Popcorn five
This is a really nice bike. I got it about 2 years ago, and I have had absolutely no problems with it. The brakes are still great (they work really well, and I haven't had to replace them) and I've had no problems with the shifters. The bike is light and easy to ride and it coasts wonderfully. I can beat a friend on this bike pedalling normally while they're pedalling as hard as they can. I would highly recommend this bike to anyone! I love it!
