Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this twice hoping that the first defective one was a fluke. The first time I assembled it, the seat was wobbly and the handlebars turned without turning the front wheel. No matter how hard I tightened it, this would happen. It was unsafe and unridable. The logo was crooked, the sticker on the seat was folded so it looked cheap, and it was missing a screw. I was so disappointed! I returned it for a refund. Thank you Amazon. I repurchased the same bike in a different color hoping a different bike in a different box was all I needed. After all, the reviews are mostly good! Nope! Not only was there a stench of marijuana coming from the bubble wrap, the front wheel cover was dented and scratched. I clearly got a returned product as the packaging seemed to be done by another frustrated, duped buyer. But I’m working with a deadline here, so I decided to attempt assembly anyway. Sure enough, no matter how I positioned the seat and no matter how tightly I screwed it together, the seat still shifted from side to side. AND the handlebars STILL didn’t catch and would turn without turning the front wheel! So, sweaty and frustrated, (and a little mad at myself for doing this TWICE) I requested a refund and I’m waiting for UPS to come pick up this piece of junk. There’s no way this product is a real Schwinn unless they’ve completely given up on maintaining their reputation for quality.
