hahah thats funny becuase i was just lookin at that and was thinkin, that is also very gay, along with your bike,

well if u dont really bike that much your bike is alright
 
its not bad, dont think it would withstand to much 'mountain' riding. Front fork isnt looking to good, but the back shock is nice.

Looks like a pretty decent cross county bike to me
 
haha me too

i dont know what i'd do without them. i would never be able to ride the things i do if it werent for clipless pedals

www.crankbrothers.com --these guys have the best pedals ever

and dont be afraid of them!! you'll get used to them in no time, and once you do, you'll hate riding without them
 
I'm sure the bike is fine for XC, but if you look at it, the rear suspension is probably the most retarded design I've ever seen. The BB/cranks are on the rear triangle, so they move along with the rear wheel. That's gonna make any bumps, especially stutter bumps really hard on your legs. On the plus side though, it looks like the rear wheel only moves about an inch before it hits the seatpost, so there wont be much of an effect on you.
 
Well its not a good bike, but for free its a deal. You won't be able to take anything big on it, but you could easily ride on it.
 
i think you should take apart that bike and use any good components it has and rebuild a bike... thats pretty much what me and my dad do, and taht way its really easy to just replace one thing and not the whole bike

plus you can pick out what parts you want specifically. and its fun. and you learn stuff about your bike.
 
The fox float is the only good compontent on your bike, I'm sorry. Shwinn are those bikes you buy at walmart, but if your really into xc I guess that will survive you a summer.
 
if you're really into xc you'll never survive the summer haha

not with that bike

especially if you're doing technical stuff or singletrack or anything, especially because you're frame looks pretty old (and a bit suckish as schwiin tends to be) and it looks like you've got about 3 inches of travel on your fork.

no worries, though haha
