I give it a 4.5.

That hill in the background looks fun.

you know, people who are on the mountain biking section do occasionally visit the general cycling section, and vice-versa.

Zeo Max, them Schwinns are the thinking man's bike and i bought one last september as a starter,it never let me down and it was a Skyliner, put 500 plus miles on it without any problem until i banged the rear gears against a metal door and it needed a small ajustment...i aint dissing no Schwinn or any other brand either.

Russian tank rings any bell?
And here is one of those tanks......

Very true. I've bought this one on June and it has never given me any major problems, just the usual and expected cable adjustment here and there. Everything else has been very solid.

It has enough spokes in the wheels to qualify as a real bicycle, so it merits a 5 out of 10 right there. The saddle isn't riding on the seat-tube - that's a plus. But without actually seeing it and it's component choices, I can't say what it truly would "rate."
