Newbie from LA need help with new hybrid fitting...

Hello from Los Angeles!

I want to purchase the Schwinn 26" Midmoor Hybrid. Love the features, price, and it will be just right for me to slowly get back into shape after a 31 year break biking (except for the occasional beach cruiser).

This is a big box bike and I can't find them in the stores (Sears, Target, Walmart, Kmart) but can order it online. I plan to go to Kmart and "fit on" a similar 26" Schwinn model to fit my inseam (33") from the top tube, arm reach to handlebar, slight bent knee to down pedel. What are your views? Please let me know. Peace.

Thanx DEK! I've been here for almost 3 year now and there is so much to see that is missed while driving by or only staying a short while because your worried about parking. I live 15 mins. (drive) from Hollywood; Venice blvd is right up the street - I'm at the beach in 20 to swim or fish! I'm missing the street art and things I just glimps driving by. Plus, it's time to get some of this 315 lbs off! Looking forward to it.....
