Its nicely detailed frame is unusual, with three narrow tubes rather than a traditional top tube, but while it adds a little weight, we doubt it impacts on performance, and any extra grams aren’t noticeable on this already fairly hefty machine. But while it may not fly through the streets like a supercharged London cycle courier, it creates an exceedingly comfortable ride, its position resembling that of a sit-up-and-beg Dutch roadster.
The Schwinn has a relatively tall head tube, a few centimetres of spacers and a raised bar. With the bar likely to be at the same height as the saddle, you have a high, safe ride and reassuringly neutral handling.
Kenda’s 40mm Komfort tyres are very comfortable and they cope with kerbs, poor roads and potholes with aplomb. Rim life should be very good too, thanks to the cable disc brakes. After years of being specced on mountain bikes, discs are becoming more common on urban machines.
