As much as I like my low end schwinn/huffy/sun/firmstrong bikes, they are almost exactly the same bike with a little variation.
Then you hit Electra/Trek/Diamondback/and bike shop quality Schwinn cruisers.
They are much better in quality. where the big box bikes come with low end everything (hubs/rims/bottom brackets/seats/stem/bars, etc) They, bike shop bikes, come with upgraded parts and frames/forks. That's why you see us all pushing towards the higher end of the bike spectrum.
Buy quality, ride for years. Buy low end, not so much.
