Very familiar with the CTC Schwinn Tango. A few years ago my wife and I used them on our camping trips. They are not great bikes and use the cheapest parts available. We sold them to some occasional users and purchased a Giant "Expressway" and Giant "Halfway" (now out of production) What a difference, after 6years they are still one of our favorite rides. Last year my Halfway saw 500 miles in March alone. The only upgrade was to Schwalbe Marathons to prevent the flatting problems with the Kendas. I'm 6' 205 lbs and the bike is very stable.
