I will begin with pack only. Soon as I opened the box, I doubted myself if I ordered the wrong bike or what. It came with a completely different bike manual than I had ordered. I had no idea or couldn't figure out how am i supposed to assemble it at all. I googled the manual reached out to email mentioned on the manual but no response than at last I searched YouTube and found similar (NOT THE SAME BIKE) videos than I googled the parts name and matched it with the one I have and assembled it so all of it took me over 2 days to do extensive research and watching several videos and search parts name.Then halfway through I noticed some parts wouldn't go together at all Like screws won't it and the handle rubber would go in I took half assembled bike to Walmart and then asked for someone's help to buy the parts and finally assembled it. It was such a nightmare I absolutely condemned the person who packed the products or whoever it was manual, and parts are the first thing you need. I was more tired of all the effort to find and figure it out than I would have after ridging it.

Mine came packaged up very well. This bike is a beast. Smooth gear changes, exceptional stopping power, and noiseless. It's also a very sexy looking bicycle. I call her Winnie. 😆 I added some accessories on it. The seat isn't that comfortable but I'm going to work with it until I get used to it, because I'm cruising and exercising with it. UPDATE: I've put close to 1200 miles in 11 months on this bike since I purchased it and had pit together and it tuned up once. I purchased a great padded seat cover. It still holds up. It's well built. Just take it so a bike shop and let them work on it to avoid mechanical issues because they know what they're doing. Bikes like this shouldn't be a do it yourself project. Don't let negative reviews throw you off. I'll be doing the Tour de Bronx on this bike in NYC. It's only 25 miles, but doing a 24 mile roundtrip commute on this beast 5x a week, it can handle it. I keep it well lubed and maintained.

Out of the box I had issues with the paddles there not good threads were aliitle messed up I tap n died it and bought rock bros paddles witch are 100 times better quality so problem solved there yes the seat is hard but I'm 374lbs so I upgraded to bigger seat I have 45psi in the tires and this bike hold me up very well I got around 60kms on the bike so far the quality of the bike is great I can't complain of the parts I upgraded I love this bike and don't regret buying it like I said I was 374lbs when I started on this bike I'm not 360 ish and plan to put alot more kms on it I'm extremely happy with it. I'd go as far as saying I'd recommend it beautiful bike great ride. Also be careful with putting paddles one goes on the right way the other one tighten counter clockwise I think this where I went wrong and messed it up but either way the paddle it comes with is trash lol over all bike other then paddles are great quality I will post video of the upgrades I did but over all buy this bike you won't be disappointed remember the way to tighten paddles looks like alot of us screwed that up judging on bad reviews

Bike came packaged well, no damage to the box or bike. Assembly was straight forward, seat, handle bars, peddles and front tire. However, the instructions were generic. I just needed to adjust the front disc brake and lube the chain. After 75 miles biking, I decided to make minor adjustments to the front and rear derailleur. New bikes will get cable stretch and need adjustment after break-in. The front derailleur was making a ticking noise which was the chain rubbing. I looked at a couple of videos on adjusting the front and rear derailleurs. I made adjustment and the bike shifts smoother and quieter. The disc brakes are good, but my 20 year old Specialized mountain bike with "V" brakes are better. The tires are 700 X 38c which equate to 28" X 1.5" and are perfect size for a hybrid bike. The seat was comfortable, I do not understand all the critics about the seat. My Specialized mountain bike seat is much harder. The GTX seat is not as comfortable as a fat, dual spring cruiser seat, but those seats can cause chaffing. The bike rides smooth, fast and comfortable with the help of the front suspension forks. Also, the bike looks good. The 18" frame is perfect for me at 5' 11" and 210 lbs. Some have criticized the chain braking and tires pinching. I keep the chain lubed, shift gears property by avoiding chain stress gear shifting and have no issues. I keep 65 psi (max 70 psi) in the tires and have no issues of pinched tires. I find 65 psi a good balance for both speed and comfort. The Schwinn Elite GTX is exactly what I wanted . A Hybrid bike that is quicker and more comfortable on the road or gravel than my Specialized mountain bike. i would recommend the Schwinn Elite GTX hybrid bike. Pricing will vary depending on supply and demand, but i paid $450 shipped and can't complain. Most aluminum frame bikes with shimano derailleurs, disc brakes and front suspension cost around $600 plus. This bike is a good value when supply can fulfill demand at $450.
