    Schwinn Sanctuary 7 Change it? Leave it alone?

    I took it out on its maiden ride yesterday just after the photo. The seat it too low for my height. I was gassed out after a 1/4 mile. Otherwise happy.

    Im 6'4" with the long arms you mentioned so the post was a plus for me. It has a mountain bike riding position for me now. Pretty happy with at the moment. Handlebars are too cheap not to keep experimenting though. So we'll see.

    Little more progress. Filed the bars down a bit more to fit a new brake lever. Shortened up the cable. Switched to an old OEM Schwinn cable cover. Now the happier news. Laid back post and Chinese hairpin saddle off Amazon...

    I agree the fenders are up in the air. Might use them on the black Schwinn next to Sanctuary. Anyone think a color change should happen?
