good ole bumpy new england roads

Bike Setup:

Summary:
This was my fist bike as an adult, getting back into cycling. i wasn'y sure if i was going to be more into road or mountain, so i went for a hybrid. it served me well and in general the bike was reliable.

Strengths:
reliable but cheap componetry...i rarely had to make adjustments the whole time i owned it. it provides a smooth comfortable ride and shifts and brakes reasonably well.

Weaknesses:
aluminum frame...i love steel. i a tad bit on the "gramma-ish" side as far a looks go. very heavy.

Favorite Ride:
Raleigh SC30

Bike Setup:
Added spedometer, luggage rack, fenders and she's fit my 6'2" 285 lb frame fine with no flats in 30 miles.

Summary:
Nice bike for the money, haven't had any problems!

Price Paid:  $200.00 at Wal-Mart

Bike Setup:
As is, other than tires. Right now it's just a Wal-Mart C-30.

Summary:
I bought the C30 Schwinn at Wal-Mart on a last second whim, because my "good" bike got snatched the previous night. The bike responded well with little tuning. Overall I think it's a great beginner bike and a even better backup bike!

Strengths:
The suspension seems to handle almost anything you throw at it. Suprisingly enough the frame can handle a few 20+ foot jumps.

Weaknesses:
I had to replace the tires 3 times to find a tire that can take the ruggedness the bike tkes.

I,ve had several bikes, but I'm a rec. rider so I limit my budget to around 600-800 dollars on any bike I buy. Alays new, never used.

Summary:
Awesome Bike. I liked it so much I bougt my wife a Raleigh C30. Incredibly smooth ride, takes bumpy roads and moderate trails well, great design enables you to pedal up some pretty steep hills easily.

Weaknesses:
Get a lot of flats, but that may be just me..
