I bought my prestige at Toys-R-Us on clearance and during a sale for 119.99. The bike looks and rides great. I use it mostly for trips to the market and leisurely rides on paved bike paths. The bike is pretty light and is easy to travel around with. This is my first bike with a grip shift, and I have to say I like it better than the older shift style. The 7 gears are adequate enough for getting around town on small hills, but I definitely would not recommend it for many or steep hills. So far I have no complaints, it is truly a comfortable stylish ride. For the price range and category of the bike, I give it an A+. Extra points for the shiny blue color; it looks great in the sun!

I purchased the bike to participate in a charity Bike Ride. The bike came in 2 days. The bike was easy to maneuver and comfortable to ride 20 miles. I did a lot of research on the cost and recommendations. This bike was worth the cost and performed well. For amateur bike riders it was easy to steer and brake and provides a great experience.

Nice bike, Love that the front wheel comes off easily for loading into the vehicle. Also, like the throttle type shifting! But....seat not too comfortable. I'll be changing that out for something more comfortable very soon!!

I bought this for my wife after her Gary Fisher bike was stolen this summer which cost us 400 around 2001. This bike is pretty close to that one, except for a few things that we have noticed. First - the seat is not a shock stem (which I knew before I bought it), but the seat is terribly uncomfortable for her, but a new seat will cure that. Secondly - no rear suspension (again knew this before purchase). With both of those together makes for a little bit of a rougher ride. She especially loves the handlebars up higher so that she doesn't have to bend over to steer, making it a true comfort bike. We are not huge bikers, just occasional weekenders, so we didn't want to through down a ton of cash for a bike. My wife is 5'6" and fits her very well, and loves the beautiful blue color. This bike deserves 5 stars all the way as far as value and product. One last thing, bike came pretty much assembled, but directions for the last bit of assembly was very vague, and just had to figure out what to do on my own, which took about 1/2 hour. Job well done Schwinn.

All went well with this order. The delivery was timely, the bike was as expected and the price was very reasonable. I am using it daily and it is just great! And pretty!

Bike is OK, although I will have to get a better seat. The problem is assembly. No instructions, and the nuts on the front wheel were locked, which necessitated trips to find a special bicycle tool kit. What a nightmare, and added expense. Please make sure you have access to a computer so you can get printout of assembly instructions if they are not in the box. And plan for the purchase of a better seat.

I'm very happy with my purchase!!!

Excellent cost-benefit.

Very comfortable and the color is even more beautiful alive.

Amazon delivery was really fast!!

The bike was as described and beautiful. It was easy to assemble and that's where I made my mistake. Unfortunately my daughter wanted a TRUE CRUISER, no gears and no hand brakes. When I requested permission to return the bike, the vendor said yes. Upon reading the fine print I realized the return would not have been accepted becuase I had assembled the bike. Of course I now regret assembling the bike but it was Christmas and what kid wants to wait to ride their new bike. Anyone want to buy this beautiful bike? It's already assembled.

Bike arrived well packaged. It was easy to assemble. Instructions were easy to follow. End user (it was a gift) is very pleased with the bike and recommends it to anyone looking for a bike to ride with friends and family.

The bike is great, came almost ready to roll. just put the front wheel, pedals, seat and handle. The bike rides very good. I recommend this bike without a doubt.
