Schwinn Gateway Step-Thru City Bike - Cream - 700c - 7-Speed
Schwinn Gateway step-through city bike in cream, an easygoing upright ride built for everyday trips around town. The low step-through steel frame makes getting on and off easy, and the swept-back handlebar and brown sprung saddle keep the riding position comfortable and relaxed.
Full metal fenders front and rear keep road spray off you and your clothes, which makes this a great pick for rainy season riding. The rear rack comes ready to work, with a spring clamp to hold down a bag of work clothes, a laptop, or a load of groceries.
The 7-speed drivetrain uses a single chainring with a full chainguard, a Shimano SIS rear derailleur, and a twist shifter numbered 1-7, so shifting is simple and your pant leg stays clean. Linear-pull V-brakes front and rear handle stopping, and 700c alloy wheels with Schwinn tires roll smoothly on pavement. A kickstand, wheel reflectors, and a frame reflector round it out.
Schwinn is one of the oldest names in American bicycles. The company was founded in Chicago in 1895 by Ignaz Schwinn, and Schwinn bikes became a fixture of American neighborhoods for generations. The Gateway is its classic city bike, built around a simple, sturdy steel frame and parts that are easy to live with.
