I was so excited to get this bike for my niece. We put it together and right away noticed the all of the monster high pictures were stickers that were placed on very badly with air bubbles all over. The tires had plastic still from the tire mold so they looked horrible. The paint on the hot pink metal was already chipped off and I am not talking about small areas, but larger ones that I had to paint over with nail polish because the gift needed to be given today. The tires were almost flat, the seal on the manual was already ripped open and there was one cap missing from the air valve on one of the tires that I had to replace. The store didn't have the bike, so I couldn't just get a new one right now. I am VERY upset. I will be contacting the manufacturer and maybe they will be willing to do something to compensate for the poor craftsmanship. see less

I'm 25 years old and only 5'2". I've had three bikes before this one, all "women's" size, which means a 26" bike. This 24" Schwinn bike has by far been the best fit for me. In addition to it being the perfect size, the bike is high quality! The gears shift super-smooth and on command, and the breaks are nice and responsive. I'm glad I stopped buying [$] bikes from other stores with horrible shifters and fit and finally invested a little more. I'm a rider for fun, not for any other reason, so it's hard to justify [$] or more on a performance bike I'll only ride a couple times a month. see less

I'm 5'2 and this bike is the perfect height. Cute style, rides smooth and good gears good breaks. My first Schwinn bike and i wouldn't pick any other brand! I am sad it does not include the water bottle holder,[...] The seat is nice, but I am defiantly going to purchase their Schwinn ultra comfort bike seat. see less

[...]The bike rides smoothly and I have no complaints. I read an average of 10-15 miles a day and this bike is prefect! see less

Rear deraileur was bent, store had no other bikes in this model. Called Schwinn, they sent me a new deraileur. I replaced it. Tightened a few loose items, bike rides great. Schwinn had excellent customer service. see less

HI, I bought this bike for my 11 year old sonfor his x-mas and birthday present. He loves it! Almost Everyday he rides with 3-4 friends and is enjoying the bike. The gears shift perfectly and don't rattle after I spent less than ten seconds adjusting them. I know there a lot of people saying, "It's just a bike shaped object" or "Just a department store bike but they just pay too much for there bikes." I wouldn't buy an expensive bike just yet. Overall he says its the best bike he's ever had. The 4 stars on the quality is just because it's not a bike store bike. see less

We have been looking for a reasonably priced, well made, reliable bike for our eight year old(he is very, very tall for his age-so finding the right bike has been hard) son. We went to our local Target last weekend and they did not have this bike. The salesperson suggested we check for it online.Five days later, I did go online, [...] found out that it was in stock at our Target. I called the store and indeed it was in stock. We went to the store today and found the bike, fully assembled and ready to go. Stuff like this never happens!!!!! The bike is well made, the perfect size, with a great deal of seat adjustment available for future growth. My son is extremely happy and excited about his new bike. We can't wait to take it out on the bike path. Thanks Bethel CT Target, you are the best store! see less

Breaks never worked from ... see more

Breaks never worked from initial purchase. One of the caliber, front and back, never retracts after applying the break. Tried to adjust it myself and brought it back to the store who also had no success. Wanted to exchange it but noticed that the Mongoose bikes on display had the same problem, so we had to return it. This was a birthday present for my son and his 1st experience with hand breaks and it was not a good one. NOTE - we did not set this up but they did not have a NA for the "easy to setup" category. see less

I concur with all of the other reviewers, this bike is a lemon - brake problems, chain problems, pedal problems. Target and Pacific Cycle should both be ashamed of themselves for selling such junk. see less

I purchase this bike for my son, he road the bike the first day I bought it home and the pedal fell off. Returned the bike to Target to get it repaired then I notice the rear breaks would stick. I then returned it to get the same bike and my son had it a total of five days and the pedal fell off again. We are not happy. DO NOT BUY THIS BIKE!!!!!!! see less

I had the bike for a week and the peddle levers fell off so I had to tear the whole thing apart. The bearings were dry and the nuts were all stripped out. THIS BIKE WAS ASSEMBLED IN STORE. All of them had the same problem. The brakes didnt work. The peddles broke in half from just riding the bike. It is clearly a piece of JUNK. There are better bikes, dont buy the junky ones that you wont be able to return. see less

Our son has ridden this bike for two years and we have never had ANY problems. Bike is sturdy, brakes work great, he has enjoyed it and it has performed with no problems. We also bought the girl's version, Schwinn Deelite, for our daughter at the same time this one was purchased and have been very pleased with both of these Target Schwinn bikes. see less

We returned this bike twice due to in-store assembly. If you return a bicycle, they are required to notify the person who did the assembly and they will check it out before authorizing a return. Bike 1. The front wheel was not straight. The axle nut was bent and could not be removed. This prevented the tire from sitting in the fork correctly. Bike 2. The front wheel was not straight again. This time both nuts were bent. The quick release on the seat was also installed incorrectly. The release was positioned against the post preventing you from using it. The thumb screw was stripped to bare metal. Bike 3. The screw holding on the chain guard was too long and rubbed against the chain and had to be shortened. The front brakes were sticking which I adjusted after reading the manual. The front brake cables were run incorrectly. Whenever turning the bike to the right, the cable would tighten which engaging the brakes unexpectedly. I reran the cable correctly and now all is good see less

[...] Although Target assembled the bike and it looked great, when we got it home, it was too large for my son even on the lowest seat height. It was very difficult to pedal also, and I even tried it. My daughter has a [...] bike that is also a 20" and we bought it at an independent bike shop. He can easily ride this. I will take him to get a bike at a bike shop. Although we will have to spend more on it, the quality is far superior. Even the kickstand on the falcon is low quality. I would not recommend this bike. see less

Just purchased this for our 7 year old daughter. She is small for her age so we took the reflector of the seat post which allowed us to lower the seat another inch. She rides during the day and only with us on the streets. She loves the bike and wants to go riding every chance she gets. Picked up at store so it was fully assembled. Like the black tires - earlier models used to come with white. Very pleased with purchase. see less

Got this 6 months ago for my daughter's 8th birthday, on sale [$$], but have seen it as low as [$$] just before Christmas 2011. She's been riding it just fine with no problems, but we only use it a few times a month. She's a fairly tall kid for 8 but it seems like there is still room to grow and still fit this bike just fine. I like that it has rear coaster brakes as well as the hand caliper brakes as it helped the transition from her previous coaster brake only bike. It's very cute and colorful without being princess/fairy which she didn't want. Seems well made and solid with the only exception being the flimsy plastic zip bag in the front which ripped off early on. I got it already 'free' assembled at Target so can't speak to how hard it would be to put together. It sits for a week or two and I occasionally need to put a little air in the tires, but other than that haven't had to do anything to it. I would certainly recommend this bike, especially on sale! see less
