I have been looking at road bikes & I came across a 2012 Schwinn Fastback Road Bike online for what looks like a great deal.
I see Schwinn is now owned by Nautilus, Inc (I think) which is located in the states. I suppose the bikes may be manufactured overseas, I don't really know. I know they offer a discount store line and also a bike shop line.
The Fastback Road Bike is the higher end model as far as I can tell. (Not wally world product)
Some specs - Shifters: Shimano 2300, Cassette: SRAM PG-850, Continental Ultra Sport, 700 x 23 tires, and Alex PC19 rims, which I can't find a lot of info. about. Some of the reading I have been doing suggests that hey are DC19 rims. Weight: 21.2 lbs.
I've been looking on two different sites for the same bike and the specs are a bit different. I suppose components may change in different production runs.
Anyone care to offer any input on this?
I've been looking at it for a couple of days and now am very tempted to buy.
Talk me out of it or in to it!
