Review: Old Reliable Technolgy on a very Nice Looking Bike - Why change things if they work. I remember this Technolgy from years back. It was reliable then, and it is reliable now. The new is: aluminun is strong and will not rust, and the shocks give a better ride. Bike companies are allowed to change parts that they advertise on a bike. So my parts was Shimano Tourney which I feel it is good old technology. New is not necessary better. So you are getting a very reliable bike, nothing fancy. I change the seat and pedals, didn't really need to. The Schwinn seat and pedals are of good quality. If you never put together a bike before it can be overwhelming to some, which becomes obvious when you read the review. One person put the pedals wrong by not tightening the bolts and ruin the pedal arms, which will cost someone a lot of money. Of course it was not their fault. But those that work on bikes all knew what he/she did. Organization is a key to putting it together. I have put together several bikes. I had none, it was quite the mess which in the end cost me time looking for parts. Look through the packing a throw it away. I have a bike stand, it really helps. You can get a bike store to put it together for a price. The pre-assemble back-end work perfectly. This is the hardest to get correct... so I am glad no tunning had to be done. The front wheel unfornately need some work it had a very slight woble. I was still able to get it usuable, with the the brake working. This is not a big deal, I will not need to buy another wheel just get the spooks at ther right tension. Every thing on the bike was really clean. However after assembly I waxed and lube the chain. Great time to do this since it is dirt free. I like the dry lube stuff because it does not attract dirt. The wax is to protect the paint. If you ride in the rain you need to apply messy oil. If you looking for a good bike with a little outdate technology this is the perfect bike to get. Very easy to service and very reliable. Proven Technology. The price is excellent, you could pay another thousand dollars for a modern bike. Finally it really looks nice, several have mentioned in the reviews that they love their new bike. Although Schwinn has some of its cheaper bikes in stores. This really is a Schwinn success story, a clasic bike. I am glad that they kept building really reliable bikes and you will to. I love my new Bike.
Review: First impression - it's a sweet cruiser bike and a great value - I recently purchased and received this bike from desertcart. I haven't spent much time on it yet (still tweaking and adjusting) but here are my first impressions - as a few other reviewers have commented, I was reluctant to buy a bike sight-unseen, but it's nicer than I expected especially for the price ($280). I did a lot of road biking in my 20s and 30s (the 1980s and '90s) but I started having knee troubles ten years ago and I had to hang up my old touring bike (literally - it's been hanging in the garage for about ten years). I bought that bike new in '88 and am keeping it for sentimental reasons (I also still have the ten speed I got for Christmas of '73 - what a tank), but there's no way I can ride that style of bike anymore with its aggressive seating position. I've wanted to get back into cycling for a while, not long distance cross country touring as in the old days, but just riding around the neighborhood to stay in shape. I looked and researched and considered for weeks and finally decided to take a chance on this Schwinn Discover "hybrid/comfort" bike. Based on my shopping and research, it has a lot of features commonly found on more expensive hybrid bicycles, such as an aluminum frame and full suspension, and a few things that are typically extra cost add-ons, such as fenders and a luggage rack. Shipping was quick (less than a week to the Midwest) and assembly was easy and uneventful. In fact, the bike was more put together than the instruction manual expected, so several pages could be skipped. So far, I'm impressed. It's definitely several cuts above typical big box store bikes. I also like the styling - it's like a light weight, multi-geared, full suspension, modern interpretation of a classic city cruiser. As for the name, like most people my age I have fond memories of Schwinn (sponsor of Captain Kangaroo in the '60s), but the old Schwinn company has not existed for years and the company that makes the Discover has nothing in common with the original Schwinn company. The original Schwinn began outsourcing their production to Japan and Taiwan (the same company that made Giant) in the '80s in an effort to lower production costs and stay competitive, but in 1992 they went out of business and eventually the rights to the Schwinn name were purchased by the same Canadian company (Dorel Industries) that also owns the Cannondale, GT, Mongoose, Caloi, IronHorse, SUGOI, Pacific, Dyno, RoadMaster, PowerLite, Fabric, and InSTEP brand names. Production of the Discover is in Changzhou, China. I include this information only for those who might be disappointed to realize they're not getting an actual, "real" Schwinn bike manufactured by the same company they remember from their childhood. Regardless of the name, this is a great bike especially for the price. Edit on 9/21/16: I've had the bike for a little over a month now and have put an increasing amount of time and miles on it. So far I've had no problems at all. Most of my adjusting and tweaking is now done, and I added a pack for the pannier, a rear view mirror, and since I do most of my riding at night, front and rear lighting and reflective tape stripes. It's a very smooth, comfortable bike. I noticed that as of today the price is down about $50 less than what I paid for it ($230's vs $280's), which makes it even more of a nice deal.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this bike okay for someone 5'1''?  somewhere I read 700c  wheels means 29 in, i can ride 26" bike comfortably, but not 28". Thanks.**
A: If you are 5'1", this may be too large of a bike for you but each user has a different preference/comfort level.  Schwinn Discover Women's Hybrid Bike (700C Wheels) model S5397 has an 18" frame according to the manufacturer.  700c wheels are different than a 29" wheel. For the casual bike riders, most individuals use the size (diameter) of the wheels: 20", 24", 26"...etc to make the selection of the bike they wish to purchase. Bikes measured this way have frames designed relative to the tire size, so the larger the tire, the larger the frame. Some bike manufacturers may use a simple overall bike measurement such as x-small, small, medium, large, x-large; the bike size is usually on a sticker somewhere on the frame on other brands. ( note:Only the custom bikes from Schwinn are sized xs, small, med, large or xl though and this is not a 'custom bike') The manufacturer may label the bikes Boy's, Men's, Girl's, Women/Ladies however, they are not only meant for younger or older individuals. The rider will need to go by their height/inseam size. Keep in mind that for the 700c series road and hybrid bikes, the rim is larger in diameter so it will bring this frame higher up. These type of bikes(700c wheeled and hybrid) may be better suited for an individual 5' 7" and taller. Someone of a small stature may have a difficult time riding the bike comfortably.Riding a bicycle that is not correctly sized to the rider may result in the rider's feet not being able to touch the ground and balance the bicycle, properly reach the handlebar for steering or braking, and loss of control when pedaling.This sizing below is just a general guideline for some Schwinn bikes. It is always best to be professionally measured to find the best fit/size if unsure.Bike Wheel Size Your Approx. Height12 inch wheel: 28 - 38 inches tall16 inch wheel: 38 - 48 inches tall18 inch wheel: 42 - 52 inches tall20 inch wheel: 48 - 60 inches tall24 inch wheel: 56 - 66 inches tall26 inch wheel: 67 - 74 inches tall27.5 inch wheel: 67 - 74 inches tall29 inch wheel: 67 - 74 inches tall700c: 67 - 74 inches tallHope this info helps!

**Q: I am a senior wanting to ride for fitness, trips to the grocery store, around town carrying light camera gear for nature shots is the bike 4 me?**
A: I am 70 and do exactly that.  I bungie cord a plastic basket on the back and carry milk etc 4 miles one way from the grocery store.  The 21 speeds are great because I ride into the wind and ride back in much higher gear. It came mostly assembled and needed no adjustment.  Keep the tires at 60 PSI and it flies and will outrun a younger person with balloon tires.  I have had it for 1 1/2 years and ride it everywhere. Do change the seat to a cloud 9 one for comfort. Get it you won't regret it.

**Q: Can you sit straight up like a cruiser? How are the handle bars swept back?**
A: No, you cannot sit straight up like on a cruiser bike. The handle bars can be adjusted, but they will not allow you to be positioned without bending over a bit. It can get tiring at a point but not so bad that you will have back pain. I just let go of one side of the handle bars and sit upright to stretch my back. I also changed the seat which makes the bend and ride bearable. You are sitting up and bending over slightly at the same time. It's a good smooth riding bike. No problem shifting gears or braking.  I really enjoy riding it. Hope this hepls everyone.

**Q: im a man only 5 2 in. will this bike be to tall to ride?**
A: Though I don't own this bike, in my opinion,  this will not be a good fit for  a 5' 2" man (I am of that height).  You will need a small frame (15" or lower)  bike. Some  700C bikes come in that small frame but would require some research. Probably you can ride this bike, but for safety reasons better to look for a small frame bike. The critical aspect  is the top tube height.  You should be able to straddle the bike without your crotch hitting the top tube. For a ladies bike, it  shouldn't be a problem as the top tube is shaped differently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on May 14, 2024*

I tried to change the seat to another I had previously purchased and it would not work at all even though it is a Schwinn seat. The seat that comes with it is good but I would have liked to have my cushier seat on.
