2019 Schwinn GTX 3 hybrid

I think this is a 2019 version of GTX-3 hybrid/comfort bike by Schwinn. Best for 5″10-6′-5″ riders. This bike can be taken to the light trails off-road and provides comfortable upright riding position.

An identical newer version of this bike is available at Dick’s Sporting Goods for $550. I restored this bike out of pure interest after reading numerous reviews about this model online. Some call it the best purchase made in a year, some wonder is it worth the hype, but here is a good review of the Schwinn’s modern day hybrids. I got this bike with badly bent front wheel (not repairable) and rusted chain and cables. I replaced the chain and all cables + serviced all bearings and fork.

This is Steve’s bike now.
