Questions about Schwinn 700IC

I was given a delivery time of 3 - 5 days when I bought mine. This delivery time was met.

The specifications say China. As far as I know, Schwinn produces most of its bikes in Asia. However, I can highly recommend this bike, the quality is top!

This bike should be suitable for small people, as it allows for vertical and horizontal seat adjustments, which can accommodate different body sizes. However, the overall dimensions and design might require some adjustments to fit comfortably for someone who is 1.6 meters tall. It's advisable to check the specific dimensions and adjustability features to ensure a comfortable fit.

Annoying. Tip: spraying a very small amount of WD40 in front of the brake helps. Two or three turns and then it's quiet. But only for a while...

For a spinning bike like the model in question, a cardio belt using 5 kHz wireless transmission is recommended. This allows precise measurement of heart rate during exercise. A chest belt compatible with this frequency is therefore the best choice. However, it is important to note that the belt is not usually included with the bike and must be purchased separately.

Heart rate measurement via a chest strap is generally possible. However, sync to Strava is probably only possible via "detours" (e.g. recording an indoor bike activity via Garmin Connect). However, I have never tried the latter.

The bike is delivered partially assembled. You have to fit the saddle, stem and pedals yourself. As I had a bad experience with my previous bike, I booked the assembly service and have never regretted this decision. I have been using the bike almost every day for several years and sometimes for several hours at a time.

Yes, if you unscrew the resistance lever completely, the pedals turn almost in a vacuum. I've had this model for 8 months now, with 3000+ km covered, and it's great. Resistant, stable... I can only recommend it.

Yes. On one side of the pedal is the SPD system, on the other a (removable) cage with strap.

Put some WD40 on it. Spray a little bit on a paper towel. Hold the paper towel on the fly wheel while turning the pedal with your other hand. It solved it for me.

That was my fear too, but yes you can train without disturbing anyone 😊 it's quiet. We put a mat under the bike, which might also help.

I am 1.70m myself and have it on the third step. I think it should fit you

A delivery to the kerbside is free of charge, only delivery to the place of use or delivery with a service generates further costs.

I ordered it in Sep and it was really easy 😃 I only had to mount the handlebars etc and not the whole bike. Greetings

The product is currently on backorder. However, we hope to be able to offer it again soon.

Unfortunately, the chest strap is not included. Any Polar chest strap (frequency range 4.5 to 5.5 kHz) that is not coded can be used. For example this one: Polar H9 size M-XXL

Unfortunately, this is not possible. :(

no, it's the IC8 that's compatible with Zwift

The delivery dates given are estimated. If you click on the date, you will see that the information is "without guarantee". Sometimes manufacturers and suppliers cannot meet their deadlines. So if it says "four to six weeks", yes, probably. Maybe it will come in four weeks, maybe in five or six, maybe a little later. During the pandemic, everyone built their home gym anyway and everything was completely sold out.

We do work with daily prices and it is quite possible that the prices change within a short period of time, but this price fluctuation is relatively high. Therefore, I have forwarded the request so that it can be checked. But basically, the current price in the online shop applies.

The bike has a friction brake (felt brake) and a belt drive.

This can be configured for the article under Services. The price of the configured service is also indicated there.
