Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Schwinn Vantage 1.Any information?

I have an opportunity to buy a new one at a closeout price . $500. Is this a for real $800.00 bike?Components etc.comparable in quality with
others in this price range.
I'm not concerned about resale in a year or two. I am totally green when it comes to components and their quality.
Any input is appreciated

dunno but you can get a Schwinn Vantage F3 Men's Flat Bar Road Bike on Amazon for $495.62

specs for both:

Vantage F1 | Schwinn Bicycles

Vantage F3 | Schwinn Bicycles

it seems the "1" is better than the "3"

If it's the Vantage F series hybrids then you are better off posting here:

The components are different then what you get on a road bike so people here might not be as familiar. There is a Vantage Rx1 which is a road bike but also much more expensive so I'm guessing you are talking about the F1
