5 Stars Great Inexpensive Bike!!
It’s been about a month since I purchased my Schwinn Coronado and I’m loving it. Due to the high price of gas I’m now riding my new Schwinn Coronado 14 miles back and forth to work on a light gravel bike trail (It’s also very comfortable road performing bike). The bike was delivered to me packaged with care and with a total cost of less than $240 for the bike (which included the free shipping) how can you go wrong. So far, so good… I’m a happy Amazon / Schwinn customer.

5 Stars Nice Bike
I ordered the bike on Monday and requested the next day shipping offer, which stated the bike would arrive on Tuesday. It did not. It did come the next day. My husband was out of town, so I set out assemble it by myself. (I am an older lady with no special experience in assembling bicycles.) The bicycle appeared to be in good shape, no bent or scratched items and all the parts were there. However, the white reflector for the front and the red reflector for the back had already been attached and the attachments for both were broken. What took the longest was my digging through my husband’s tool box trying to find something that would work since he did not have an allen wrench the right size. The instructions were written for a multitude of bicycles. It was a little confusing which instructions that I should use. It would have been helpful if they had included a sheet on my bike, just saying “This is the bike you have, this is what it has. When assembing the handle bars refer to Handle bar Instructions #1 B. When assembing the front wheel refer to Front Wheel Assembley instructions #3 A, etc.” In reality you get an instruction book that says “To assemble the handle bars, do steps 1, 2 and 3. Just as you are processing those instructions, the next line reads “Some models have a so-in-so, in which case you have to do this-and-that.” Which makes you have to evaluate your bike to determine just what you have and which instructions to use. This was the case with the handle bars, the seat, and the front wheel. At any rate, after getting it unpacked I was making my first trip arownd the yard in about and hour and a half. It seems very comfortable and was very easy to pedal, even accross the grass. It should be a breeze on a paved bike path, even for a little old lady who has not ridden a bicycle in over 40 years.

4 Stars Happy with purchase
I’ve been enjoying this bike for about a month now. Well-made, light-weight and comfortable - great for the price I paid of 219.99 + free shipping. The assembly was not too bad considering I’ve never assembled or worked on a bike before. I was able to adjust the brakes and shifting fairly easily as well. The bike is also pretty to look at! I did end up changing the seat to something a bit more comfortable. But my daughter was happy to have the seat for her Schwinn.

5 Stars Comfort bike is a good name for this model.
At first I thought that this bike was too easy to ride and I feared that this would interfer with my fitness routine. However, after getting used to this comfort, I became completely spoiled. While I would never ride it too roughly, it is a wonderful bike for buzzing around town and for beginning riders. Indeed, for the past three months I rode it back and forth to work and did not even break a sweat. I love the wider seat and shock system, which really cuts down on tail bone pain and other physiological consequences of bike riding. Also, changing the tire tube was extremely easy, and I could quickly switch back and forth between my racing tires and the road tires.

Too bad someone completely trashed my bike– which has me completely bummed. I guess I learned a lesson– be sure to chain both tires when leaving it outside and bring it inside when possible. While the clamp on tires are easy to maintain, they are also easy to steal– someone even stole one of my gears. As a result I had to buy a new bike, and boy I wish I could have this bike back.

4 Stars Solid Schwinn
I found the bike easy to assemble, although the instructions were generic to various Schwinns. I had to provide the Allen wrenches necessary for the assembly. The brakes needed adjusting, but I was able to do that myself without much trouble at all. An attractive, comfortable bike that is a good weight and has handlebars that allow for a little more upright riding, more comfortable for the back. Only complaint is the comfort seat, which is not as comfy as the one on my husband’s Schwinn.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good quality for this price
This is my first bike for many years. Still it was very easy to assemble it and make all adjustments. Majority of components are pre-assembled by Schwinn - rear wheel, front and rear brakes, chain and gears. Its even not necessary to make fine tuning at bike shop. Only suspension needs greasing. This bike is good on the road and goes perfectly uphill.

2 Stars Choose a Local Bike Shop
When I had a problem with this bike, I called Schwinn directly. The customer service representative told me that she would not recommend buying a bike online and suggested using a local bike shop to avoid problems. I agree. I was completely satisfied with a reputable local business. Amazon accepted the bike in return, and I appreciated that.

What I liked about this bike: aluminum frame, styling.

The problems: the front tire was defective, the directions don’t match the way the bike is packaged when you assemble it which caused confusion.

5 Stars Great, light, and delivered well packaged
It was delivered in two layers of boxes, and, maybe because of that, there was no apparent damage to the bike.

It looked very nice and light.

With a returned GMC topkick mountain bike, I could not run up a modest slope even using the lowest gear, and was easily exhausted after a short riding.

This schwinn bike returned me a pleasure of riding a bike and allowed me to drive up the hill simply.

3 Stars Good BIke… but not great
I bought this bike about a month ago. The look and style is great. However, the seat is very uncomfortable, I had to get it replaced. Even worse, I have rode it a couple of times already, and the Front Derailleur is already damaged. I need to have this bike tuned up at the local bike shop which will set me back an additional $50.00. While I do expect for Schwinn to make good on the warranty, and send me a replacement part, it is a hassle to have to register, and wait for it. Unfortunately, I may need to come out of pocket even more if I want the part replaced sooner. Overall, this bike is okay, but I will recommend to do serious research before deciding on this one.

5 Stars Schwinn Coronado Men’s Comfort Bike
Very good product. Everything is as described, no surprises. 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. The bad thing is that two out of two brake pads that I tried adjusting had the same problem. Other than that, frame, gears, suspension and even brakes work like a charm.

5 Stars ASIC GT-2140
Size was true to my expectations (i.e. I ordered 9.5 and they fit perfectly). I’ve been running in them for a couple of weeks now and they are very comfortable.

5 Stars Simply Perfect
Asics has been my favorite brand for the past 2 seasons. This is my favorite training shoe for this season. Excelent cushioning and support. I’m 6ft and 92kg with mild pronation so this is exactly what I need to help prevent injuries. Anyone coming from the 2130 shoes will not be disappointed. So far I think it’s even better than the current Kayano.

5 Stars The best!
My job requires me to run a lot. This shoe is by far the best I’ve ever worn. I have a flat foot and am a neutral runner. It fits true to size, and has amazing comfort. The memory foam really works. They also work great for any training, or sport. Highly recommended for light or heavy running.

5 Stars ASICS Men’s GT-2140
Fast and uncomplicated transaction.

Totally satisfied with the product and the price.

Fast delivery and always on time.

Highly recommend that shop.

Next pair of runnig shoes will be purchased again at this place

Thank you very much!
