Schwinn’s Laguna Sport Road Bike features well-designed components from Schwinn, Shimano, and Pro Max. This bike features a Schwinn-made, lightweight aluminum road bike frame with a Schwinn road fork, so you’ll be prepared to tackle any urban jungle. In order to keep your tires where you want them, Schwinn has equipped the Laguna with an alloy drop bar and adjustable rise alloy stem. This bike is also equipped to rocket through its gears with the Shimano 24-speed drive train with Shimano 2200 shifters, and you can rest assured that you’ll stop on a dime with the Pro Max caliper brakes. Ready for the steepest hills, Schwinn built the Laguna with a TruVativ Iso-Flow Road crankset and aero alloy rims with quick-release alloy hubs and stainless steel spokes. A Selle San Marko saddle offers Italian styling and all-day comfort. I got this bike when I finally had gotten tired of looking for road bikes on craigslist.
