If Mike says it's a good road bike, I retract everything said above, and bow to his greater wisdom. My experience with Schwinn is that they are heavy and beautifully made works of art. Mine is lugless, slightly less than a ton and is used only when riding with the grand kids. (It used to be my everyday commuter.) But this is the only kind of Schwinn I'm familiar with, so again, I say, if Mike says it's a good bike, I believe him. Fix it, ride it, enjoy it. You won't be sorry.
