Schwinn Katana Road Bike
68
All right, I finally bought this bike, although I could not provide information about them for reasons other than the Amazon. It seems that the only place on this wheel can be purchased at Amazon.com (unfortunately the leaves a little to be desired in the spec information department).
The wheel itself was very easy to assemble, and I've never mounted a bicycle. However, it appears that one of the screws, the front brake wire on the front brake was lost during shipment. I have to buy a replacement screw, but I guess I'm the costs are minimal. Overall, the bike took me less than 1 / 2 hours to assemble.
The components on the bike very solid, all Shimano and Truvativ. The brakes and deraileurs needed a little fine tuning but not take a rocket scientist to a rhyme it out. The tires are very nice and the spokes are sharp in appearance (the spokes are black, but apparently chromium in the picture). The nozzles for the tires are standard (not those little screw-jets, drive me crazy). The pedals are standard and do not support SPD clip Less footware. If you want Less clip pedals, you have to buy them separate. The seat is very comfortable and adjustable angle. The shift is smooth. The graphics and colors are very well done without removable sticker. The wheel will not come with a kick stand, when shown in the picture.
I know a few people in the specs section said the bike weighs 22 kg. I have the 54cm model and if I have the weight of a bike on their own or deduct my weight, if the bike, I come with just under 24 lbs. Not too bad for a lower prices racing. I am planning on replacing the pedals with Less clip, which I expect to reduce the weight a little further.
Shipping was very fast, even with the free shipping. Appointed on Sunday, received on Friday.
The only reason why I with four stars instead of five is the missing bolt, I have to be replaced.
Overall, I am very pleased with this bike and glad that I bought. It was well worth the $ 300 I paid for it. The quality of components and low weight rivals bicycles to double the price. I am not sure how Amazon to corner the entire market for this wheel but more power to them!
