Schwinn RS 5.0 Road Bike (700c Wheels) Overviews
A must-have for the road cyclist, the men's Schwinn 700c road bike guarantees a smooth ride. It comes nicely equipped with an aluminum front triangle frame with a carbon rear triangle and carbon fork. A Shimano Sora 14-speed drivetrain with 7-speed Sora STI shifters provides sure shifts and no slips. Stopping power comes from the ProMax dual pivot caliper brakes, giving you the confidence to aggressively tackle the road.

I have had this bike for about 5 months now, the bike frame is very good (aluminum/carbon fiber forks) but the shifting componenets are not good at all, causing most of the problems... so, I would recommend this bike if you are thinking of having a good decent frame but are thinking -or would like to- upgrade the saddle, shifting components (cassette, chainrings (here is where I have had most of the problems since the material they are made of is super flexible and will bend just 'cause it feels like it, making the chain slip out of it, this happens on 40% of my rides) and front derailleur, etc) and maybe even the handlebar.
I have had a lot of fun with this bike and I have put about 2000 miles on it already, I crushed head onto a Benz SUV that cut me off and stoped suddenly and the front wheel did not budge anything and taking into consideration that I was going at least about 20 miles per hour I can honestly say I was more than expecting the wheel to get damaged (to bend like an 8). I have ridden this bike everywhere in Manhattan to around South Florida and I am very pleased with it, just take care of replacing the chainrings for something good and you'll be riding in peace...
