How much is a 1994 schwinn world sport road bike worth?

June 8th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Schwinn

I am being offered a schwinn world sport road bike from 1995, just had 0 worth of work done to it, and I’m having it offered to me for 0. Good deal? It’s in very good condition and rides like a new bike I’ve taken it for a few rides. Just curious what some professionals may think. Oh one more thing it’s for a tall person (I’m 6’6") and fits me well not sure if that ups the price or not.

How fragile are different bicycle frame materials, especially cannondale?

June 5th, 2010 · 10 Comments · Cannondale

I’m looking to buy a new bicycle, i think i’m going to get a cannondale and i’ve been researching frames and my options are aluminum, carbon, or alloy. It will be a road bike and everywhere i read i find warnings saying how fragile these bikes are, particularly the carbon and aluminum, that if the drop or anything it might dent or crack. I don’t race a whole lot but i want something that i can have for a while but will also be very comfortable riding for long periods of time. Does anyone have good advice or experience with these frames and can tell me if these are huge factors that I should worry about or are the warnings just because it has happened a few times.

Is there any way to tell what type of schwinn world sport I have acquired?

June 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Schwinn

My mother gave me her old schwinn world sport. It is a gray frame with world sport written in pink. It has standard handle bars not racing bars or road bike bars. Was wondering if there is anyway to tell what year it is and what model etc?

Do you have any tips for bicycle training?

May 22nd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Training

Just took my road bike out of storage and had it tuned up. I’ve been commuting and riding short distances on an old, heavy bike (while I was living overseas), but haven’t ridden more than 5-8 miles at a time in almost 2 years. How do I get strong again? How much should I push myself when I go out for rides?
