A laid back seat post should help put you back a bit so the 21" top tube frame won't feel so compact. For the price point it most likely has open bearings so you might want to add sealed bearings while you have it torn down. Steel frames normally have a 250 lb weight limit stay below that and it should last for light cruising use. I wouldn't advise jumping on any steel frames of any size most come with a yellow warning sticker stating the same.
@@hoosiercycles6595 I may end up putting a laid back post on my current Schwinn Typhoon build. I'll see after the new seat stem and bars go on next month.
Wheels are very low quality, require truing often, with upgrades, stronger crank, wider bars and laid back seat post, not bad for money but believe Amazon has them priced higher than my original purchase of $179
rode mine over 10 miles a day for over a year now. seat broke 1 month in. I'll give the seat a pass because I was over the weight limit when I bought it. BB bearings lasted to around 6 month point. changed brake pads about two months ago. broke a spoke a few months ago had to remove freewheel when you do you pretty much destroy freewheel so I had to pick one up. wish they used a freewheel that was removable. back tire replaced about a month ago front still good tread. they have bumped the price as stated I paid 240 for mine shipped they are even more now. every component on the bike is low end every...single...part. the good news it got me riding for cheap I was 284 lbs last year 189 lbs today. still rides decent to this day but I'm not out here jumping stuff or thrashing it in any way. for me it was a good purchase. do I think I could have gotten more value for the price from another brand, maybe so.

Hey there I need a 24 inch cruiser between 100 to 200 do you have any suggestions?
Not at that price point, huffy and mongoose both have $220plus 24 whl cruisers that aren't bad
@@hoosiercycles6595 alr
can you ride this bike and make a part 2 ?
Yes I will be going through packing bearings, replacing crank pedals soon
Does the bike come with multiple wheels size because when I shear it up it says “3,wheel sizes(20/24/26)”
I can't speak for Amazon but I do know this was offered on 20/24/26 inch wheeled bike. Believe the 26 are no longer available
Hi, it’s been a year, what’s your take on it? Is it a good purchase?

blue was still 199 I paid 20 more for the grey
I clear coated my frame really changed the look
Are the writing on it removable
Like on the sides
Yes they are decals see my part two video on Bike you'll see the decals removed and a few upgrades
Slam the seat and take off the breaks then it’ll be a true bmx
Maybe for if I was younger and good knees
