I did pick up a Schwinn Clear Creek for $20.00. For the price, it was alright. The weakest part of the bike is the rims. The rest was workable. Had a boingy front fork and a boingy seat post topped off with a poofy seat with springs. Like riding a Twinkie. The 6'+ college kid I picked it up from didn't know the seat could be adjusted. He had it slammed all the way down. Sold it for $90.00. I don't feel great about the sale, but we need the bux.

And it is ugly. This is the result of having a product designer design a bike instead of letting form follow function.
