Schwinn Midmoor Men's Hybrid Bike

By Simon Johnson

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 gearshift is a great Shimano shifter (but not their nicest of course, this is a $240 bike). The gear mechanism changer is a standard Shimano touring, but still a Shimano. Very easy to put together. It's almost assembled. You will need to have the brake systems and gears set, and the wheel trued.

Schwinn Midmoor should be advertized as super bike. I added a solid comfy seat, rear and front lights, splash safeguards (I know they aren't pretty, but necessary on a commuter bicycle, and really looked pretty stable with it). I might even add a rear rack, since this is now my regular commuter bicycle. Once I poured some money in on fixture mentioned above, accessories and a tune-up, I love this bike.

I needed a good long-lasting bicycle simply to run local chores but once I started riding this bike I found myself taking longer and longer rides. Aluminium frame makes it light weight for this type of bicycle. The wheels/spokes give it a distinct look. The seat could have been softer, but other than that it's a great ride. I bought the bike in August and up to this point it has been totally trouble free.Schwinn Midmoor is a very solid bike for the money. Light, smooth ride and fast. - 32193
