Doug
I am abashed to note that I have never ridden a Schwinn bicycle. I learned
to ride a motorcycle in college and later moved over to ten-speeds of
various makes.
My main point was that, for most of use, the difference between a quality
$300 bike and $3000 dollar carbon-frame bike is a meaningless distinciton,
precisely as would be the distinction between a quality camera and a less
expensive camera to someone who did not do his own darkroom work.
