Schwinn Vantage 1.Any information?

I'm new to hybrids.I can buy a close out LBS Vantage 1 for $500. MSRP is $800
I"m not concerned about resale. Any information on the quality of the bike's quality in
comparsion to other brands in the $800 price range would be appeciated.
Thanks

Is it the F1 model shown on Schwinn's website? If so, I would say that it looks competitive with other hybrids in the $750-850 range. Its closest competitors would be the Trek FX 3 Disc, the Giant Escape 1 Disc, and the Specialized Sirrus Sport. The Schwinn, at least this particular model on the website, advertises the Smooth Ride Technology with damping mechanisms in the frame. If it rides good to you and fits good and feels good, I think it's competitive at $800, and is almost certainly a Buy-It-Now deal at $500.
