Well.... I just didn't like it much. That was unexpected for me to be honest. Since it was "Sportier" than a normal Schwinn, it was more in competition with my Melton, Mercian and others for ride time. It did not compare well against those, so it was seldom ridden. On the other hand, I have enjoyed the Suburban, Continental and Collegiates that I have owned, because I took them on different types of rides. Shorter trips, or family bike rides where I rode slow and upright. Other than that, I thought the OEM gear was fussy and noisy.... not really enjoyable to use. I didn't want to change it, because it was a survivor in my eyes.
