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.

The bike needed a little bit more precise adjustment to the derailers but that is typical for any new bike. Since then it’s been running enormously well and has needed zero! Nice lightweight wheels and very solid regular parts create this a super value for the money, and the flat bar is nice for city cruising!

All in the entire bike looks really great, the welds on the frame are solid, and the bicycle is really nice. I give these bicycle two thumbs up and extremely recommend it.
