3 bikes I found...

I had originally found the Schwinn Premis... https://denver.craigslist.org/bik/1287274198.html
but i gotta have a back up plan or at least options...
.
how about these other offerings? I plan on riding the wheels off of it... not any other reason...
.
Schwinn World Sport... https://denver.craigslist.org/bik/1288327403.html
.
Schwinn Varsity Road... https://denver.craigslist.org/bik/1287358010.html

all Schwinns... how do they stack up as far as which is the better bike???
.
thanks in advance...
PS i know one is a 64cm and the other possibly a 66cm and i think the other is at least at 62cm...

The Premis is far far far superior to the other two bikes. The Varsity and world sport were lower end offerings with heavy steel frames and mostly steel parts. They also had 27in steel rims which really sets them back.

The Premis is actually a very nice bike. The frame is made out of decent tubing, alloy wheels and Suntour Cyclone drivetrain. That looks to be a fair price for Denver too. There is no comparison, go for the Premis you won't regret it.

No comparison between the bikes. Only thing they have in common is the brand name. The Premis is the pick of the litter.
