The Schwinn Men’s 700c Skyliner bike components can be broken down into various areas that determine the quality. Each of these components can in isolation drop the overall rating for a bike review, simply because the weakest part may be the area which causes the bike overall to be lower quality, i.e. a low quality seat isn’t really an area for concern as opposed to low quality brakes or gears which make a bike unsafe or hard to use.

NOTE: In addition to the standard expected components for a bike, this package also includes front and rear lights and a detachable accessories bag cleverly mounted under the top section of the frame. You’d need to be careful to not overfill the accessories bag as this would result in you rubbing your legs against the bag while cycling.

Frame: Simple aluminium frame with basic Schwinn suspension fork.

Seat: Comfortable seat mounted on mini-shock absorption mount.

Pedals: Very basic pedals.

Brakes: Standard linear pull brakes (clincher style). Nice and simple, just be careful if you’re riding downhill to keep your speed under control as you won’t be able to stop in a hurry with this brake configuration as opposed to other bikes with disc brakes. The other comments on the brakes are if you have to assemble these yourself, please be careful or take it to a bike shop for assembly.

Gears: 7 Speed SRAM grip shifters. It certainly keeps the aesthetics of the bike looking good and makes for smooth gear changes.

Wheel set: 29 Inch wheels – standard 700c size. The rims, tyres and tubes are a little bit on the lower quality side for the components.

Weight: 21 pounds or 9.5 kilograms (very light)

If you use the bike a lot, you’re bound to need to do maintenance at some point. That might be as simple as fixing a flat tyre, adjusting the gears or changing brake pads.

The Schwinn Men’s 700c Skyliner bike gets a top mark for ease and cost of maintenance. This is due to the fact that you’ll be able to do a lot of the work yourself. The wheels are easy to remove with quick release levers, the seat can easily be adjusted, brake pads changed and with a bit of knowledge, you could even adjust the gears.

If any of the work is outside of your comfort zone, any bike shop will be able to do the maintenance for you due to the very common nature of the components and easy access to parts.

The bike gets a good rating for comfort. The suspension in the seat and front mean it should handle most bumps pretty well without you feeling it too much. The fenders will protect you in wet conditions too so an extra mark for this too, plus the accessory bag as a carrier if you want to put some extra luggage on the bike for your trip. Some comments mentioned that the bike tends to suit a taller person though so if you’re shorter than 5’9″ this might not be the bike for you.
