Walmart Schwinn will be fine for her, that's all I ride, and they don't fall apart or break down anymore than any other bicycle. So don't believe the BS in here, for everyone story they post up, I can go to the repair forum in here and find all sorts of whacko things happening to $1,000 bicycles.
I've ridden Walmart bikes along the Blue Ridge Parkway, ridden them on the C&O trail, ridden them from South Carolina to Texas, and I ride one every day around 10 to 15 miles a day.
Remember, there's a reason why **REPAIRING** LBS bicycles is a huge market...
The current Walmart bike I bought in March has 1,300+ miles on it, only thing went wrong was a cracked pedal... So I had to spend a whopping 7 bucks to replace that. The Walmart bike I took with around 60 pounds of stuff attached to it from South Carolina to Texas.... only had a few flats....
So congrats.... you just let the neo-cyclo supremacist run another potential bicycle rider off the streets because she wanted a "walmart" bike.
Let her buy what she wants... no wonder she is mad at you....
