Came across this right at closing time at a thrift shop in Richfield, Ohio. I didn’t have the tools to inflate it or anything.
I’m still pretty new to the cycling hobby but I would like a seat post that drops lower (see prior posts). So basically my next bike will be a MTB.
The amount of stickers and the pink Rock Ring around the pedals caught my eye. I figured that many stickers must mean a bike used for months or years and possibly upgraded over time. But I’m new, so is this the cycling equivalent of RGB lights on your keyboard or is this bike actually good?
I’m sorry I couldn’t find any obvious brand name under the stickers, maybe Genesis. It had a 1×7 gear shifter which might be subpar coming from 3×7. I could pick it up with 1 hand without much effort. Possibly the center of gravity is doing some work there, but it seemed lighter than my aluminum bike and the kind of fancy looking Giant Rincon circa 1990. Is that good?

The red Schwinn is my daily driver. Ticks all the boxes for me and I tried out quite a few used bikes at the LBS.
