Nice Bike for Girls, February 3, 2010
By D. Fuentecilla "lunataina" (Miami, Florida, USA)

This is a very pretty and sturdy bike for girls. My daughter is 9 and loves it. We only had one problem with it when it arrived with a broken reflector but that was easily remedied. It was simple to put together, although my husband does have some experience with bikes. For the price it is a great purchase.

Seems Like a Decent Bike but Some Qualilty Control Issues, December 28, 2009
By Erik Zenhausern (New York, NY)

A few weeks before Christmas I ordered this bike for my 7 year old daughter. I wanted to get her something that was of decent quality she could use for the next few years. I didn't want to spend too much because if she really gets into cycling she will want to upgrade to a more sophisticated bike, but if not this bike will allow her to pedal around the neighborhood for some time to come.

Unfortunatley, there were problems with the bike from the start. I ordered it a couple of weeks before Christmas but didn't get to open the package until last Tuesday. I discovered that the bike was damaged and needed to be replaced. Amazon was great and did their best to send a replacement overnight in time for Christmas. Tracking the package online it looked like there was some kind of hold up at the Memphis facility and it did not leave there until 1 PM on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, the bike did not arrive in time, or so I thought. On Christmas morning, after all the gifts had been opened, I went outside and was shocked and pleasantly surprised to see the bike on the front doorstep. Wow! UPS delivered it on Christmas morning. There must be a Santa Claus.

Too bad there was still a problem with the bike, though. When I opened the box everything seemed to be in order but I could not get the front wheel to fit on the fork. I am not the world's most mechanically inclined but I have worked on my own bikes since I was 12 years old. No matter what I did I could not get the front wheel on. When I called Schwinn (actually Pacific Cycle)it seems like there is something wrong with the front fork and they will need to send a replacement.

IF I can get the bike together I'm sure it's going to be fine and worth the money I spent, but the packaging was not great, which is why the first shipment was damaged. It also seems there is little quality control with products shipped out. Sliding the front wheel on the fork should be a very simple procedure.

Many thanks to Amazon and UPS for doing a great job, but if I had to do this over again I would have spent the extra money and gone to a bike shop.

Great product! Daughter had tears of joy!!, March 11, 2009
By Ed A. Collado "rocket929" (Fort Lauderdale, FL)

First of all, I would NEVER take the time to build a bike for $100.00! The right price AND it saved me time from getting into my car and driving to the store. Delivered to my home, no shipping charge. The bike was 90% put together. Final assembly was VERY easy! Great BRIGHT colors! Dad did GOOD! How do I know? The tears of joy that poured from my daughters eyes when she layed her eyes on it! How does it ride? Sorry, can't help you there. A bit small for me! :) But my 8 year old gives it a thumbs up!

THIS IS A QUALITY BUILT BIKE! ASSEMBLY IS EASY AND SHIPPING IS FAST. I ONLY HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH THE ORDER...THE FIRST BIKE WAS DAMAGED BADLY, BUT AMAZON QUICKLY SENT ANOTHER ONE. I ORDERED THIS FOR MY 9 YR OLD DAUGHTER AND SHE LOVES IT. SCHWINN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A QUALITY BIKE COMPANY AND I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PURCHASE.
