Schwinn Coronado Men’s Comfort Bike Review

Posted in Sports on March 25th, 2010 by Dave Williams – Be the first to comment

Schwinn Coronado Men’s Comfort Bike is a real solid product. I’ve got this bike for almost three months and ride it every day to my work (about 10 miles round trip with a big uphill on each way). It’s a great bike with nice build and nice look. Occasionally I listen compliments of this bike on the street. So far I didn’t have none problems except one flat. As a short distance commuter it makes a perfect job.

This is my first bicycle for many years. However it was real easy to put together it and get all adjustments. Most of parts are pre put together by Schwinn – rear wheel, front and rear brake systems, chain and gears. It’s even not necessity to get nice tuning at bike shop. Only suspension system requires greasing. This bicycle is great on the road and runs perfectly uphill.

The only thing I didn’t like was when I had to adjust the brake pads and the screws tore the moment I applied a little bit of force with my Allen key. It wasn’t a big deal I was able to unscrew them from the back and get new screws before putting them back.This bike is lightweight, strong, has great gear control for the price. The seat wasn’t as comfortable as I had hoped. However with a new seat all is well.
