Flat Bar Mens Road Bike Schwinn Volare

By John Doherty

I purchased Schwinn Volare bike a few days ago and can't be more pleased with the purchase. I think this bike is a great bike for beginners to use for commuting or recreational riding. Yes, you can get better, but not in the less than $250 or so range.

I personally bought Schwinn Volare to begin commuting to work and didn't want to put out a lot of money until I know for sure I will keep it up, later I can buy a new bike or upgrade the parts as they break. The short rides I've taken so far it rode very smooth, stopped very well, and the seat wasn't too bad for how hard it is.

Also it shifts well, the brakes are outstanding. The brakes adjust easily and exactly as to how you like them. Care should be taken until you are use to how well they will stop. This is not a competition bike. It is however a comfortable (with new seat) pleasant quality bike.

Assemblage was highly simple, and bicycle was available to ride without any other tuning of spokes, etc. Schwinn Volare bicycle is really very light at about 42 pounds with thin tires to pick up race quick. I love this bicycle, the shifting mechanism works precisely, easily to switch and bike ride very smooth.

It needed just a little adjustment to the derailers but that is normal for any new bike. Since then it's been running great and has needed nothing! Nice lightweight wheels and very decent entry level components make this a great value for the money, and the flat bar is very comfortable for city cruising!

All in the entire bike seems really solid, the welds on the frame are uniform, and the bike is very sharp. I give Schwinn Volare two thumbs up and highly recommend it. - 32193
