Schwinn vs Trek? Deciding which to buy? |
I'm wanting to buy a bicycle to get in better shape. I am considering the Trek Navigator 3.0. I also like the looks of the Schwinn Deluxe 7 Cruiser but afraid it may be to heavy and bulky. I'd like any suggestions. http://www2.trekbikes.com/bikes/bike.php... http://www.schwinnbike.com/products/bike... Hey Brian, -The TREK and the Schwinn are two totally different bikes. But you mentioned that you want to get in shape, so I would choose the TREK Navigator. The TREK Navigator is more towards the comfort bike line, but it would be a good bike to ride on and off road for excercise. (When I say off road I mean flat fire roads.) It has good 8 speed components and would be a bike you could use anywhere. Also the TREK has a front suspension shock and rear seatpost shock for a smoother ride on and off road. -The Schwinn Deluxe 7 is more of a beach/boardwalk cruizer. It only has a rear coaster brake, but it has 7 speeds. This Deluxe 7 is very Retro and Stylish, but it is heavy and bulky. You would look totally Bitchin cruizin down the boardwalk with this bike. -Now I would also choose the TREK, because they are a way better quality bike than Schwinn. TREK has a lifetime guarantee on the frame and 1 year on the components. Schwinn is made in Taiwan and ? -Both are about $500 retail. I would definitely choose the TREK. Just my 2 cents. = ) Source(s): My Brain. I'd go with the Trek. That Schwinn looks like it was made in the 1950's. Yeah, definitely the Trek. I would look at possibly getting a hard-tail mountain bike if you are looking to get in shape. But between the two, I'd have to go with the Trek. Trek The Schwinn looks like a cool retro cruiser, but the Trek has way better craftsmanship and is better for exercising. |
